Suspicion A Novel Laura Grimaldi Translated by Robin Pickering-Iazzi Terrace Books, a trade imprint of the University of Wisconsin Press Editor's Statement This is the first English language translation of any work by Grimaldi—Italy's best-selling answer to Patricia Highsmith and Ruth Rendell, and one of Europe's most popular authors of the thinking person's thriller. Suspicion suggests why. At once chilling gothic novel and a shrewd psychological study, Grimaldi's most accomplished novel evokes the horror of suspecting someone you love,and the nightmare of a parent glimpsing their own child's darkest, deepest, maybe murderous secrets. —Raphael Kadushin, Humanities Editor, UW Press Reviews "A tortured walk through the winding streets and twisted minds of modern Florence and Florentines. . . . leaves its readers . . . enlightened about crime fiction in a different culture by gluing its reader to the edge of the confessional couch."—Ray Browne, former book review editor, Clues Author and translator bios Laura Grimaldi is managing editor for the Italian publisher, Il Saggiatore.
