The last Aurelio Zen book I read was [[Blood Rain]] and it disappointed. I'm used to Michael Dibdin being something above the ordinary and he simply wasn't in that book. I began to wonder if I'd read the best of him and it was with some trepidation that I bought "Cabal".

If you're new to Dibdin's Aurelio Zen series then this would not be a bad place to start although "Ratking" has the distinction of being the first in the series. There are some sexual references and violence but nothing that should offend the average adult. If this book appeals to you then reviews of other Dibdin books are listed to the left. You might also like to read Donna Leon - [[Fatal Remedies]] would be a good place to start or Andrea Camilleri's [[The Shape of Water]]. Be warned though, that neither is as good as Dibdin at his best.
