Michele Ferrera is the pen name of Michele Giuttari, an Italian author and former head of the Florence Police Squad. Drawing on years of real investigative experience, Giuttari writes crime fiction set in and around Florence under the Ferrera name. His books follow Chief Superintendent Michele Ferrara, a fictional detective who shares his creator’s deep knowledge of Florentine criminal underworld.
The Michele Ferrara series spans seven novels published between 2004 and 2015. Starting with A Florentine Death, each book puts Ferrara up against a new case while the backdrop of Tuscan politics and organized crime grows more complex. The series should be read in publication order, as character relationships and ongoing plot threads develop across the books.
