Product Information

From the bestselling author of LOS ALAMOS and THE GOOD GERMAN comes a riveting tale of love, revenge and murder set in postwar VeniceIt is 1946, and a stunned Europe is beginning its slow recovery from the ravages of World War II. Adam Miller has come to Venice to visit his widowed mother and try to forget the horrors he has witnessed as a U.S. Army war crimes investigator in Germany. Nothing has changed in Venice-not the beautiful palazzi, not the violins at Florian's, not the shifting water that makes the city, untouched by bombs, still seem a dream. But when Adam falls in love with Claudia, a Jewish woman scarred by her devastating experiences during the war, he is forced to confront another Venice, a city still at war with itself, haunted by atrocities it would rather forget. Everyone, he discovers, has been compromised by the Occupation-the international set drinking at Harry's, the police who kept order for the Germans, and most of all Gianni Maglione, the suave and enigmatic Venetian who happens to be his mother's new suitor. And when, finally, the troubled past erupts in violent murder, Adam finds himself at the center of a web of deception, intrigue, and unexpected moral dilemmas. When is murder acceptable? What are the limits of guilt? How much is someone willing to pay for a perfect alibi? Using the piazzas and canals of Venice as an enthralling but sinister backdrop, Joseph Kanon has again written a gripping historical thriller. ALIBI is at once a murder mystery, a love story, and a superbly crafted novel about the nature of moral responsibility.

Reviews
Praise for The Good German : "[Kanon] is fast approaching the complexity and relevance not just of le Carré and Greene but even of Orwell: provocative, fully realized fiction that explores, as only fiction can, the reality of history as it is lived by individual men and women." - The New York Times Book Review "As he did in Los Alamos , Kanon demonstrates an eerie mastery of the evocative historical detail . . . You can feel the shattered glass crunching beneath your feet as you read. You can smell the smoke-scorched broken bricks . . . Kanon is as ambitious a novelist as he is a gifted one." - The Washington Post, Praise forThe Good German: "[Kanon] is fast approaching the complexity and relevance not just of le Carreacute; and Greene but even of Orwell: provocative, fully realized fiction that explores, as only fiction can, the reality of history as it is lived by individual men and women." -The New York Times Book Review "As he did inLos Alamos, Kanon demonstrates an eerie mastery of the evocative historical detail . . .

  • Great Read, with a little History

    Joseph Kanon, has a great ability to add a fantastic story to a historic background. Set in Italy after WWII, Alibi will catch and keep your attention with love, mystery, and murder. At the same time the story revolves around Venice after Mussolini, and being a German occupied territory. It makes you wonder how people were able to move on with life again after doing what was needed to survive, and how they lived with their actions. I highly recommend all Joseph Kanon Novels.

  • Can't wait for Joseph Kanon's next one!

    Joseph Kanon has a habit of making you think twice about your own black & white perceptions. The good can be bad occassionally, and also you discover the good in the bad. Nothing is ever as simple as your own initial prejudice. He shows the many shades of grey with conviction, hope and class and writes without the cynicism of more recent John Le Carre. With wonderful crafting you are drawn to care deeply about the central characters. Total immersion is effortless in the tales he tells. Anyone chosing to read this book would do well to also pick up a copy of The Good German (asap), The Prodigal Spy and most certainly Los Alamos. My only complaint would be that we have to wait probably another year for his next one to be published. Too long! Pamela Morrison
