How Italian authors are challenging the conventions of crime novels by focusing on corruption, unsolved murders and the Mafia, and telling stories where endings are rarely happy. Featuring interviews with leading writers of the genre, including Inspector Montalbano creator Andrea Camilleri and serving judge Giancarlo De Cataldo, who explains how his profession has inspired his Romanzo Criminale novels. The programme also examines the roots of the new style, and how Carlo Emilio Gadda and Leonardo Sciascia established a fresh type of noir driven by real events. Narrated by Jason Isaacs
