In a world where we have so much choice, curation is becoming increasingly key. Walter Presents was first set up to champion brilliant drama from around the world and bring it to a wider audience.
Now, in collaboration with Pushkin Press, we’re hoping to do the same thing for foreign literature: translating brilliant books into English, introducing them to readers who are hungry for quality fiction.
This book was recommended to me by an Italian friend with impeccable taste. Set in the 1970s, it follows the story of legendary former cop, Annibale Canessa, forced out of his Italian Riviera retirement to investigate the brutal killing of his estranged brother in Milan. The action flicks between Canessa’s past and present, weaving a page-turning web of corruption and deception. A quintessential Italian hero is born in this thrilling crime story.
