Hello everybody, i'm an italian guy with a real passion for hard-boiled and crime fiction in general...
I discovered this site today and felt i really had to join, so that i could talk and exchange ideas with someone new (i guess all my frineds are bored of reading books i "suggest" them, and it looks like no one can keep up with my rhythm....) ...
bye for now,
Fabrizio
