Tobias Jones

Tobias Jones journeys through the deep south of Italy in his new book, Blood on the Altar, which he discusses at this event. It tells the true story of 16-year-old girl who went missing in 1993, and the mysterious local man who was eventually convicted of the killing. Blood on the Altar is a revelatory true crime story and a fascinating portrait of Basilicata, a region in southern Italy little known to the outside world. Tobias Jones made his name with The Dark Heart of Italy, and has continued to explore the hidden corners of the country ever since in fiction and non-fiction.
