![]() Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. ![]() ![]() Kwam niet echt in het verhaal. Startte traag, maar had wel genoeg actie om je bezig te houden. Begon er een beetje genoeg van te krijgen te lezen dat Peroni door een fout van hem bij de 'gewone' politie terecht kwam. De reden daar van was al in het [b:Het Bacchus offer|44901518|Het Bacchus offer|David Hewson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1554743658s/44901518.jpg|69558135] uitgelegd, en nu ook weer diverse keren. Wat gebeurde er verder met dat meisje Laila? Over het algemeen zijn dit leuke verhalen om te lezen op vakantie, omdat ze makkelijk weg te leggen zijn. This is the third book of the Nic Costa series. It is just before Christmas and Rome is surprised by a big snow storm. Nic, Gianni, Leo and Teresa fight on all fronts. On the one hand, the heads of the various secret services gather together. They have the feeling that with their dark machinations they can trick the four main proganists, on the other hand, a most sophisticated golf war veteran is on revenge. In the midst of all this happenings is a Kurdish teenager who hopes for a better future than in her country and an American who is confronted with the past of her father and at the same time fallen for Nic. As always, it was an exciting reading. It's an OK read. It started out on a good premise, but didn't quite deliver. This is how it begins: The body of a woman is found in the Pantheon, mutilated by some diagram carved into her back, and the body arranged in semblance to the diagram of the Vitruvian Man. So here I am looking for an enigmatic read, full of symbolism and mystery -- instead it leans towards inter-agency politics and jurisdiction. The plot does unfold in due course, but because of the heavy lean, took the wind out of the sails of this one. Does not quite cut it for me. 'In dit bloedspannende boek zien we de Italianen veelvuldig in hun habitat met de talrijke Romeinse Piazza's, de espresso's in cafés en aan de pasta. Bellisimo' vat een anonieme journalist het boek samen op de achterflap. En dat is het wel zo ongeveer. Geschreven met een reisgids in de hand. Clichés alom in deze whydunit. De plot is niet onaardig, maar - zoals ze vaak - je mag er niet te veel bij nadenken. En voor de fans: als ik het einde goed interpreteer, speelt het volgende boek in Venetië. Hoera!

The third in Hewson's stunning crime series set in Rome.For the first time in decades The Eternal City is paralysed by a blizzard. And a gruesome discovery is made in the Pantheon - one of Rome's most ancient and revered architectural treasures. Covered by falling snow is the body of a young woman - her back horribly mutilated... But before Nic Costa and Gianni Peroni of the Questura can begin a formal investigation the US Embassy has brought in its own people, FBI Agents who want the case closed down as quickly and discreetly as possible. But Costa is determined to find out why the enquiry is so sensitive - and as the FBI grudgingly admits that this corpse is not the first, the mutilations of the woman's body point to Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man - and to a conspiracy so sinister and buried so deep, that only two people know its true, crazed meaning.
