White Suicide is initially set in the anni di piombo (the years of lead), the twenty years of Italian terrorism, and begins with the kidnap, and subsequent murder, of Aldo Moro in 1978, one of Italy's, and the Cold War's, visionary leaders.

Reviews

'White Suicide gripped me from page one, a modern thriller reminiscent of Eric Ambler that brings suspense, history and politics alive on the page. Not to be missed.'

-- Charles Glass, author of Soldiers Don't Go Mad

'Simon Gaul's novel investigates the web of mystery as the Milanese lawyer Pietro Albassi finds himself acting as a go-between during the hunt for the missing politician. Gaul has fun revealing the hidden hands many believe lay behind events at the time. Among these were the Vatican and the CIA.'

-- James Owen * The Times *

'A slow burn epic ... truly thought-provoking and credible.'

-- Paul Burke * Crime Time FM *

'A brilliant, sprawling, action-packed saga set against a fascinating and murky part of recent European history.'

-- Ray Celestin, award-winning author of the 'City Blues Quartet', two-time winner of the CWA Dagger Awards
