In the tradition of John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of
Good and Evil and Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City,
Douglas Preston weaves a captivating account of crime and
punishment in the lush hills of Florence, Italy. Douglas
Preston fulfilled a lifelong dream when he moved with his
family to a villa in Florence. Upon meeting celebrated
journalist Mario Spezi, Preston was stunned to learn that
the olive grove next to his home had been the scene of a
horrific double murder committed by one of the most infamous
figures in Italian history. A serial killer who ritually
murdered fourteen young lovers, he has never been caught. He
is known as the Monster of Florence. Fascinated by the tale,
Preston began to work with Spezi on the case. Here is the
true story of their search to uncover and confront the man
they believe is the Monster. In an ironic twist of fate that
echoes the dark traditions of the city's bloody history,
Preston and Spezi themselves became targets of a bizarre
police investigation. With the gripping suspense of
Preston's bestselling novels, THE MONSTER OF FLORENCE tells
a remarkable and harrowing chronicle of murder, mutilation,
suicide, and vengeance-with Preston and Spezi caught in the
middle.
