For fans of Daniel Silva and David Baldacci comes a gripping thriller based on real world events that will have you riveted until the final page is turned. When NYPD detectives Paul Rossi and Hamilton P. Turner begin investigating the Sutton Place murder of an Italian air force pilot, the last thing they expect is that they will and find themselves sucked into the potential cover-up of the Ustica massacre, the most horrific aviation crime in Italian history, in which all 81 souls on board perished, where Italian President Francesco Cossiga blamed a missile deployed by the French Navy for the disaster. But as they begin investigating, Rossi, recovering from a broken marriage, and Turner, an African-American opera buff, poet, and former lawyer with ambitions to be mayor, come up against NYPD bureaucratic obstacles and stonewalling by the Italian Consulate in NYC. Lieutenant Laura Muro, the policewoman sister of the victim, comes to New York to aid the investigation, but soon the trio find themselves in the crosshairs of the Gladio, Italy’s powerful, shadowy political cabal whose reach extends to the highest reaches of New York political and ruling class. From New York to Italy, Rossi, Turner, and Muro must uncover the shocking truth about one of the most notorious disasters in airline history, and how this infamous act ties to the present-day murder. Riveting, erudite, and surprising at every turn, THE MAN IN MILAN announces a major new voice in international thriller fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new crime master emerges
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021

Vito Racanelli’s first novel is a masterpiece of crime fiction. It’s an addictive blend of New York cops and an ancient Italian crime syndicate, all wrapped up in a true unsolved mystery. The two New York blues are a winning pair, the inter-continental settings are gorgeously described, the mystery is a surprise a minute and the action never lets up. I couldn’t put it down. I sense a long and satisfying series coming, and I can’t wait for the next installment. Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars I read this in one sitting!
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2020
The Man in Milan reads like a cross between Dan Brown and David Baldacci. The story is based on real-world events of an aviation disaster. The characters are rich, and the story is engaging. I love the atmosphere of the story and the descriptions of the locations. The story goes from Italy to New York and details the powerful political entities. The story is fast-paced and has good twists and turns.

I read this in one sitting! The Man in Milan is a good debut novel by Vito Racanelli.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun, fast paced romp of a thriller
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020

This is a really clever crime thriller, set in Italy and New York. It takes a real historical event - the mysterious downing of a passenger plane in the early 1980s - and spins it into a whole story about corruption and political power.

There’s just enough twists and turns to keep you engaged without being confusing. Same with the lead characters - just enough to tell the story.

It’s a real page turner, perfect for a weekend’s reading.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Impressive Debut
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2021

A great debut novel by Mr. Racanelli, this book moves quickly and effortlessly. I found myself immersed in the locales, of which there are several; the history behind the plot was fascinating; and the characters were compelling. The two main characters, Detectives Rossi and Turner, make me want to read the next book--hopefully, there will be one--because they complement each other so well and I enjoy spending time with them.

This is an excellent thriller that will appeal not only to fans of international intrigue but also to lovers of Italy and opera. The plot is captivating and full of details on Italian life and customs that can only be known by those who have lived in the Bel Paese for a long time: Vito Racanelli knows how to tell them in a cultured and also funny way.

Loved this book, it had a freshness and I thought it was elegantly written. A change from established authors churning out another book written to a formula and often padded out and lacking pace. So disappointed recently with favourite crime writers new publications so this was a great find that I thoroughly enjoyed!
