    As the title says, I'm trying to locate an english language version of Romanzo Criminale.

    Am enjoying the tv series at the moment, so thought I'd get the book that started it.

    My usual go to sites are amazon and ebay - nothing there(that I could see).

    If you know of any site that may have it, I would appreciate the help.

    Thanks in advance.

    I don't think there is an English-language edition of the book as yet, though it has the status of a modern classic in Italy, it has gone through something like twenty-odd editions so far since it was first published. There does seem to be growing interest in de Cataldo's work so hopefully Romanzo Criminale will appear before too long in an English translation. The TV series is pretty damn good isn't it?!

    Still haven't found an english version, but came across this during my search:
    whose influential bestseller Romanzo Criminale is due out in English

    I'll keep looking, but as you say, it doesn't look like there was an english translation.
