In Back to Bologna, Michael Dibdin brings back the Italian detective Aurelio Zen, who is once again caught in the complex web of corruption, politics, and murder that defines his homeland. Zen is assigned to investigate the mysterious death of a prominent university professor, whose body is found in a suspicious manner. As Zen delves deeper into the case, he uncovers layers of intrigue involving the victim's connections to powerful figures in academia and politics. The investigation leads Zen through the labyrinthine streets of Bologna, where he must navigate the treacherous waters of Italian bureaucracy, institutional power, and moral ambiguity. As he moves closer to the truth, Zen confronts the question of his own moral compass, caught between duty and personal convictions.

The novel is a compelling blend of mystery, crime, and psychological drama, with Dibdin's sharp prose and dark humor highlighting the tension and complexity of modern Italy. The book explores themes of identity, corruption, and the blurred lines between right and wrong, all set against the backdrop of Bologna's rich cultural heritage. Zen, as always, is a flawed and introspective character, who must grapple not only with the criminal elements he faces but also with his own sense of justice and personal struggles. The story moves at a deliberate pace, building suspense as Zen uncovers secrets that challenge his understanding of both the case and the world around him. The novel ultimately offers a poignant look at the difficulties of navigating a system rife with contradictions, making Back to Bologna a thought-provoking addition to the Aurelio Zen series.
