"Naples — seedy, beautiful, baroque — is the backdrop for this searing debut novel about an investigator working as a liaison between Italian police and the American military. Nikki Serafino, “short and compact and muscular with a dynamic, interesting face,” deals with misogynistic male colleagues while investigating not one but two murders."
“The Neapolitan setting and the details of underwater investigation give Heider’s debut an offbeat and entertaining gloss…A lively procedural with a high-powered heroine and a setting that would be idyllic if not for those murders.”
“May the Wolf Die is a brilliant thriller, cleverly crafted and unpredictable.”
“An intriguing mystery, a smart central character to root for, gorgeous setting, and authentic detail. This tense and brooding debut is everything crime fiction should be.”
