The Crocodile

The Crocodile introduces Inspector Lojacono, a quiet, sharp-minded detective transferred to Naples after a case goes wrong. When a series of murders strikes the city — each committed with unsettling precision — Lojacono is the only one who notices a pattern linking the victims. As he digs deeper, he uncovers a killer driven by sorrow and revenge, known only as “The Crocodile.” Atmospheric and gripping, Maurizio de Giovanni’s novel blends police procedural, psychological tension, and rich Neapolitan setting.
