Inspector De Luca (novel series)


The Inspector De Luca mysteries, also called the De Luca trilogy, consist of three Italian novels, Carte Blanche, The Damned Season, and Goose Street by Italian crime fiction writer Carlo Lucarelli.
The novels have been noted for the setting in the period between the collapse of the Fascist government of Italy in 1943 and installation of the Italian Social Republic puppet state of Nazi Germany from 1943 to 1945, and the immediate postwar period, and also for the tenacious attitude of the protagonist policeman - a feature also found in other Lucarelli series.
The novels were adapted for Italian television as Inspector De Luca in 2008.
