Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Personal tragedies affect almost everyone involved in Faletti's well-constructed serial killer novel set in glitzy Monte Carlo. FBI agent Frank Ottobre is recovering in Monaco from his wife's death by visiting his friend police commissioner Nicolas Hulot when the first deaths occur, of an American race car driver and the celebrated driver's chess champion girlfriend. Ottobre is soon drawn into a baffling case where the killer goads police with untraceable phone calls to Jean-Loup Verdier, the principality's most popular radio host, before each murder. As the victim count mounts, so does the suspense in this fine cat-and-mouse game of skill and subtlety. A smooth translation and several intriguing subplots, one of which features a powerful American general intent on vigilante justice, keep the pace moving briskly, despite the unusual length. First published in Italy in 2002, this winning novel marks Milan-based publisher Baldini Castoldi Dalai's entry into the U.S. market. (June)

Awesome, rivals Silence of the Lambs, April 30 2011

This review is from: I Kill (Hardcover)
This book is gripping from page 1. The plot is superb and holds you up there throughout the entire book. The storyline is like a rollercoaster of suspense right to the very end, and the end could not have been wrapped up any more satisfying for the reader. This book will not disappoint any reader and is written with such expertise I was shocked to learn it's the author's first novel! Keep them coming Mr. Faletti!! A must, must read.

Fantastic story, Nov 20 2010
By Sten Sundblad - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: I Kill (Hardcover)
I read the Swedish translation, which was good and allowed me to enjoy the author's basic work. It's a fantastic story, and it's very well written. I only wish that more Giorgio Faletti books were available in English (or Swedish for that matter). I'm going to buy the next one in Italian, and it won't be easy to read it. But I'm willing to give it a try because the first one was so good.
