Nero come il diamante

The setting feels almost like a character itself, reflecting the blurred lines between right and wrong. I'm curious what inspired the vivid depiction of LA's underbelly.

The story seemed to take a breather before ramping up again — was this a deliberate choice to build tension or just how the plot unfolded?

The detective’s internal struggles added depth, but I wonder what led the author to develop this specific point of view over others.
