Order of Nic Costa Books
Nic Costa is the protagonist in a series of crime fiction/mystery novels by British novelist David Hewson. Costa is a young detective based out of Rome, Italy. He has an affinity for fine art. Due to his age, he can be a little naive, but as honest as they come. The rights to the series have been acquired by Bavaria for a television adaptation.
David Hewson began his Nic Costa series in 2003 with the novel A Season for the Dead. There is currently 9 novels in the series. Although each novel is connected with the same characters, they are all standalone stories and thus can be read in any order you wish. Below is a list of David Hewson’s books in order of when they were originally released (which is the same as their chronological order):
