The engrossing and controversial biography of Caravaggio that is 'written with the urgency of a detective novel': 'a wild ride' [New York Review of Books] 'a genius move' [Village Voice] 'Caravaggio took art to the edge, Robb takes biography there'. [Publishers Weekly] 'a driving, resourceful, shrewd imagination is at work here' [Guardian] 'splendid, savage and moralising … consistently moving' [Australian Book Review] 'ugly demotic style' [Helen Langdon]
