Winner of the NZ Booklovers Award 2022 for best novel - 'City of Vengeance'
2022

Description City of Vengeance by D. V. Bishop won the 2022 NZ Booklovers Award for Adult Fiction. These awards support the New Zealand publishing community and authors.

Judges' comments: ‘A stunning debut novel, D V Bishop's City of Vengeance seamlessly blends historical fiction with crime thriller, as detective-protagonist Cesare Aldo investigates a murder in 1536 Florence and uncovers an intra-familial plot (which really happened) against the ruling Duke of Florence, a member of the ultra-powerful de' Medici clan. Storytelling centred on intrigue and betrayal doesn't come more polished and captivating than this, and among the novel's best features are the figure of Aldo, a redoubtable and humane lead; the unflinching depiction of a filthy, dangerous Renaissance city which diverges from the typical romantic portrayals of European sites; and the rejection of the heteronormativity common to almost all historical fiction - Bishop shows this place and era to be as diverse in human desire and commerce as anywhere in the present.'
