Klappentext

Lovers of Italy and la dolce vita will be charmed by this cosy crime novel set on the coast and in the hills of Liguria. We are transported to its bars and restaurants, treated to culinary feasts, regional specialities and mouth-watering cocktails in this story of Giuseppe Caponnetto, a newly retired Capitano from the Carabinieri and his involvement in solving a heinous murder on a helpless old man. There are hints of romance and intrigue, fascinating details of Italian life, hints at Italian politics and history, and references to films (see if you can spot them!).

Enrico Palumbo introduces an engaging cast of characters and draws on his own experience of life in Italy and his own Italian heritage to transport us to this fascinating region of Northern Italy and entertain us in a most diverting manner.
