Author Obit: Michael Dibdin
The Rap Sheet reports that "Michael Dibdin, the 60-year-old author of an award-winning series starring Venetian detective Aurelio Zen (Back to Bologna), died" in Seattle, WA, last Friday, March 30, after a short illness." See also his extensive obituary in the Telegraph, which calls Zen "one of the quirkiest sleuths in crime fiction" and notes Dibdin's combination of a "flair for complex plotting and biting characterisation" with a "mastery of satire and the surreal."Labels: author, crime novels, crime series, deaths, dibdin, mystery series, obituary, set in venice
