Lucarelli ha scritto decisamente di meglio, anzi ha scritto solo di meglio. Dimenticabile e dimenticato.

I picked up Judges in the library, principally because it contains a story by Giancarlo de Cotaldo, the writer of one of my favourite European TV series – Romanzo Criminale. I have yet to encounter a novel of his in English, so this was the next best thing.

Judges is an anthology of three novellas by leading Italian crime writers; each story centres on an Italian Judge prosecuting a case. (The reader needs to bear in mind the investigative role of a Judge in Italy).

Andrea Camilleri, renowned author of the Montalbano series, kicks off with Judge Surra. This is a story set shortly after Italian unification, about a Judge from out of town who is parachuted into a Sicilian village, blissfully unaware of the criminal undercurrents that swirl around him. Surra seemingly blunders along, narrowly avoiding continuing disasters and amazing the locals with his sang froid and coolness in the face of the local mafiosi. Or is he a lot smarter than we might think? This is an excellent and humorous short story, but it is marred by a clumsy and unnecessary afterword.

The Bambina by Carlo Lucarelli was probably my favourite story of the three. It’s centred on a female Bolognan Judge who looks so young she is nicknamed “The Baby” by the cops. While she has police protection as a matter of routine, it seems totally unnecessary, as she is only investigating a minor white collar fraud. Events then take a turn that gives her case a lot more significance. Lucarelli is able to surprise the reader and pack plot twists into a very short space. (The ending will make more sense to people with a bit of knowledge about real-life crime in Italy, BTW). I’ll certainly be looking for more of Lucarelli’s work.

De Cotaldo’s story is called The Triple Dream of the Prosecutor. This is a tale about a Judge who is prosecuting a corrupt local mayor, a man who bullied him as a child, giving rise to the suspicion that the Judge is biased. In the story, he dreams about things going wrong on the day of the trial, in a looping fashion somewhat like Groundhog Day. The construction is complex and a little confusing, and I found this story rather unsatisfying. I guess I expected something more hard-boiled from the author of Romanzo Criminale. (Could somebody PLEASE publish Romanzo Criminale in English, BTW)?

Overall I thought these three novellas were worth reading and something a bit different from the usual police procedurals. Good stuff.

Een erg doordeweekse thriller, indien zoiets bestaat. Het uitgangspunt zag er best veelbelovend uit. Rimini 1936. Op het strand dichtbij de villa waar Mussolini vakantie houdt, wordt een vermoorde vrouw gevonden. De oversten en collega's van vice-commissaris Marino vinden vlug een verdachte die nog bekent ook. Maar Marino bijt zich vast in enkele ongerijmdheden om terecht te komen in een aantal intriges binnen de hogere sociale en politieke kringen. Maar Lucarelli weet niet genoeg vaart in zijn verhaal te krijgen en maakt het geheel wat doorzichtig. Ook de ontknoping van deze vakantiethriller vond ik getuigen van weinig verbeelding. Makkelijk weg lezend, dat wel, maar waarvan niet veel blijft hangen.… (mais)
