New Italian crime fiction
I've had an email alerting me about a new publisher, Hersilia Press, which is focusing on Italian crime fiction. Their first book is Inspector Cataldo's Criminal Summer by Luigi Guicciardi which is the first in a ten (so far) book series and will be published in March 2010.

I like the sound of this series. And very brave to start up a publishing business just now - my hat is off to them!
