Read Series: Nic Costa
by Author David Hewson
The Garden Of Evil (2008)
Non c’è tregua per la squadra investigativa di Nic Costa, l’intraprendente poliziotto romano amante dell’arte sempre alle prese con casi collegati ad elementi antichi; anche questa volta infatti Nic si trova ad intervenire in un caso a dir poco complesso, una serie di omicidi apparentemente colle...
The Seventh Sacrament (2007)
From Publishers Weekly The intricate fifth thriller from British author Hewson to feature Roman detective Nic Costa (after 2006's The Lizard's Bite) artfully weaves several points-of-view as it shifts between past and present. Fourteen years after seven-year-old Alessio Bramante, the son of an em...
The Sacred Cut (2006)
I think so far this is my least favourite of the Nic Costa series. I have read 4 of them.

I really enjoy a good mystery and this book did not disappoint. I w...
The Lizard's Bite (2007)
Nic Costa series, #4If you haven't read the previous books in the series, stop here. If you have, you'll remember that at the end of the last one (The Sacred Cut), the main characters, Nic Costa, Gianni Peroni and their boss Leo Falcone, have been exiled to Venice for awhile for a slight matte...
Gevallen Engel (2013)
I am an avid detective story fan, especially when the story is set in a place I love and the detective involved is thoughtful, insightful and intelligent – someone I would enjoy knowing outside the pages of a book. Donna Leon’s Venetian detective Guido Brunetti is the prime example I have encount...
