Book Log 2013 #10: The Namesake by Conor Fitzgerald
The latest entry in the Alec Blume series, the title refers to a murder victim who shares his name with a magistrate investigating the 'Ndrangheta, Calabria's organized crime outfit. When that magistrate suffers a stroke while discussing the killing with Blume, the policeman sees an opportunity to help both of their investigations. What unfolds from that opportunity sees Blume mixing with police and intelligence agencies in Italy and Germany (as he's partnered with a German cop who has apparently gone off the reservation) and his partner/sort-of girlfriend Caterina Mattiola in danger.
Read this a while ago, and don't recall and specific issues I had with the book. Enjoyed it as I have the other entries in the series.
