Rick Montoya is looking forward to a break from his
translation business in Rome - a week of skiing in the
Italian Alps with old college buddy Flavio. But Rick's
success helping the Italian police with a murder in Tuscany
sends the Campiglio cops his way. An American banker working
in Milano is missing. The man's sister, an attractive and
spoiled divorcée, has no idea where he could be, nor do the
locals who saw him on his way to the slopes. With the
discovery of a body, Rick and Inspector Albani widen their
list of suspects. Picturesque resort Campiglio harbors old
rivalries, citizens on the make, and a cut-throat political
campaign. Why would these local issues, any of them, connect
to the missing banker?
The investigation doesn't
keep Rick and Flavio from enjoying perfect ski conditions in
the Dolomites and glorious after-ski wines and bowls of
fresh pasta. As for women - Rick has to wonder if the
banker's sister is just hitting him up for information. The
action heats up, testing laid-back Rick whose uncle, a Roman
cop, keeps urging him to make the police his
career.
As in Cold Tuscan Stone, Death in
the Dolomites immerses us in the sights, smells and
tastes of Italy, this time in a picture-perfect Alpine town
with a surprising negative side.
