Glad you like the books. Dante's Numbers is very much a Roman story not an American one, and a substantial part of it is set in Rome. But I do think it's a good idea to move the cast around from time to time and as you will see with Dante there is nowhere else this particular story could be told in part except a very small area of San Francisco. Teresa is in there big time, and in some ways it's her book. I can't imagine a way of keeping her out even if I wanted to (which I definitely dont). The book after Dante, which is already finished and will be out in the UK in October next year and in the US probably in April 2010 is very much back in Italy, as will be the one after that which I am starting to work on now. But I do like the gang to be outsiders from time to time - it brings out new aspects in them. Hi Colette. Glad you like the books.

I have all the Nic Costa books to date and think them an excennent addition to my favourites list Donna Leon,Michael Dibdin and Andrea Camilleri. I look forward to the next one very much but was a bit concerned that much of the action will take place in the USA---hope this won't spoil the particular 'aura' that the books have-the main reason that I feel appeals to me about them is their sense of 'place' and the sights,sounds and even smells of Rome. Please say Teresa will be in the book-she is one of the great inventions in detective fiction. Thanks again for a fantastic series regards Colette Hutley Hello Mr Hewson.
