Praise for Black August

“Trotti is a subtle and convincing creation; the other characters are portrayed with depth and sensitivity, and the Italian atmosphere is authentically beguiling. First-rate in every way.”
—The Times
 
“[Williams’s] simple but stylish dialogue-driven prose is convincingly Continental, his plotting impeccable.”
—Time Out
 
“Williams writes like an angel. He does, but thank Beelzebub, it's a mongrel angel with a bit of fiend about him.”
—Oxford Times
 
“Ingenious and evocative.”
—Literary Review

“Williams creates a highly convincing Italian background and is superb at giving his characters oblique dialogue.”
—The Scotsman

“Williams has a gift for creating characters that stick with you long after you have put the book down....Add to that gift for recreating the hazy tensions of a small Italian city baking in the summer sun, and you begin to appreciate why so many critics find his novels gripping reads.”
—Western Mail
 
 “A fresh and convincing setting....Signor Trotti [is] a well-drawn and sympathetic figure.”
—Western Morning News
 
“If you haven't discovered the Trotti books...all of them are highly recommended.”
—International Noir Fiction

“Another excellent novel . . . as gripping in its psychological investigations as Simenon.”
—British Book News
