I'll be talking about the Costa books and the latest one, <em>The Fallen Angel</em>, at the Italian Cultural Institute, 39 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8NX, on February 21 at 7pm. My host for the evening part of a series of talks with authors who write about Italy, will be Barry Forshaw, author of <em>Italian Cinema</em> and <em>The Rough Guide to Crime Fiction</em>, and a biography of Stieg Larsson.
