Search - The Sacred Cut

Page turner alert. Be sure you have plenty of time to read this one all the way through. I couldn't put it down. Made me feel very fortunate that I have my own busienss, because I wouldn't be able to hold a 9-5 job with books like this one keeping me up reading all night.

was given this book by a friend who recommended it as a thriller/mystery. That is exactly what this book is. Evidently David Hewson has several books that follow one character: Nic Costa, who is a police detective in Rome.


In this book, a body is found during a crazy snow storm with an ancient symbol carved into its back. You soon find out that this is the most recent in a string of similar murders and it is up to Costa, his partner Peroni, and a female FBI agent to figure out "who dun it."

This book started off pretty slowly, but it had some good action that kept the reader guessing. I like that the Costa and Peroni characters are serial. I love reading books where the characters repeat themselves - see Daniel Silva's Gabrial Allon series - because then I don't have to get to know the characters again and again every time I pick up a book by that author. I'm looking forward to reading more of David Hewson.

This is a murder that unravels in a ingenious way. An American woman is found dead under the Pantheon's great dome in Rome. The police force in Rome and U.S. Agents clash in ther rush to solve the very complicated murder and others that follow. The story kept me interested throughout.
