The Sacred Cut by David Hewson
3.0
http://abookofadifferentcolor.blogspot.com
I was given this book by a friend who recommended it as a thriller/mystery. That is exactly what this book is. Evidently David Hewson has several books that follow one character: Nic Costa, who is a police detective in Rome.
In this book, a body is found during a crazy snow storm with an ancient symbol carved into its back. You soon find out that this is the most recent in a string of similar murders and it is up to Costa, his partner Peroni, and a female FBI agent to figure out "who dun it."
This book started off pretty slowly, but it had some good action that kept the reader guessing. I like that the Costa and Peroni characters are serial. I love reading books where the characters repeat themselves - see Daniel Silva's Gabrial Allon series - because then I don't have to get to know the characters again and again every time I pick up a book by that author. I'm looking forward to reading more of David Hewson.
