Blanca: Colour, Darkness and the making of a Different Detective

Blanca is not written as a lesson in bravery or pity. She is clever, stylish, difficult, funny, independent, and fully alive. Through colour, confidence, work, friendship, and the way she moves through Genoa, *Blanca* gives us a detective who does not live in darkness, but keeps arriving in colour.
