Temporary Perfections
Premio Selezione Campiello 2010
“Guerrieri is a wonderfully convincing character.”
The Times
“A first-rate thriller, stylish, witty and suspenseful.”
Kathy Reichs
The fourth novel by international bestselling writer Gianrico Carofiglio featuring defense lawyer Guido Guerrieri.
An instant cultural sensation and number-one bestseller, Temporary Perfections features Guido Guerrieri, a defense lawyer practicing in the Italian city of Bari, the capital of Italy’s heel. Guerrieri is hired by an old colleague to take on a missing-persons case that the police have failed to solve: that of Manuela Ferraro, a university student who disappeared six months earlier after spending a September weekend at a beach resort. As Guerrieri digs deeper into Manuela’s life, he stumbles into a sinister drug ring and the real truth about why she vanished. Deeply thoughtful and highly suspenseful, Temporary Perfections is literary crime fiction at its best.
