In 'Back to Bologna', the corpse of the shady industrialist who owns the local soccer team is found dead, both shot and stabbed. Aurelio Zen is summoned to Bologna to investigate. Recovering slowly from surgery, and fleeing an equally painful crisis in his personal life, Zen is happy to take on what at first appears to be a routine and relatively undemanding assignment. But soon a world-famous university professor is shot with the same gun, immediately after publicly humiliating Italy’s leading celebrity television chef, and the case, intertwined with the fates of an earnest student of semiotics and a mysterious young immigrant who claims to be from Ruritania, spins out of control, and Zen is in no condition to rise to the challenge.

Michael Dibdin was a British crime fiction writer, best known for inventing Aurelio Zen, the principal character in 11 crime novels set in Italy.
