Mystery lovers, meet your next intriguing literary voice: Lodovico Settembrini, the creative mind behind The Blue and the Green, a gripping installment in the Digger Sharma mystery series.
Settembrini introduces readers to a truly unique protagonist—Digger Sharma, an Irish-Indian private investigator whose unconventional background mirrors the complexity of the cases he tackles. In The Blue and the Green, Digger returns for his second adventure, and the stakes are higher, darker, and more personal than ever.
At first glance, Digger’s life seems relatively stable. He’s settled into a comfortable position at a maximum-security prison—but peace doesn’t last long. When a troubling pattern of inmate suicides emerges, suspicion replaces routine, and Digger is drawn into a case that refuses to stay contained behind prison walls.
What unfolds is far more than a standard investigation. As Digger digs deeper, he encounters a tangled web of deception involving criminals, pirates, and a mysterious woman marked by both allure and danger.
But perhaps the most compelling twist? This case forces Digger to confront his own past, blurring the line between professional duty and personal reckoning.
Lodovico Settembrini’s storytelling stands out for its blend of classic detective intrigue and richly imaginative elements. His work doesn’t just deliver suspense—it builds a world where global influences, eccentric characters, and psychological depth collide.
Drawing from a literary background and a life based in Switzerland, where he teaches languages, Settembrini brings an intellectual sharpness and dry wit to his writing. His prose carries both sophistication and unpredictability—keeping readers engaged from the first clue to the final revelation.
The Blue and the Green continues the journey that began with Digger Sharma’s first case, The Best Pesticide, further developing a character who is as flawed as he is fascinating. This second installment deepens the series’ themes—identity, morality, and the consequences of past decisions—while expanding the scope of its adventures.
For readers who enjoy international intrigue, complex detectives with layered identities, and mysteries that mix suspense with psychological depth, this series is one to watch.
In a crowded mystery market, Settembrini offers something refreshingly different. The Blue and the Green is more than a mystery—it’s an exploration of hidden truths, both external and internal. And with Digger Sharma at the center, readers are guaranteed a journey that’s anything but ordinary.
