Mystery
Rick Montoya has just moved from Santa Fe to Rome, embracing
the life of a translator. He’s beginning to embrace la dolce
vita when school friend Beppo, now senior in the Italian Art
Squad, recruits Rick for an unofficial undercover role.
Armed with a list of galleries, suspects, and an expense
account, Rick would arrive in Tuscany posing as a buyer for
a Santa Fe gallery and flush out traffickers in priceless
burial urns. But, before sunset on his first day in Volterra, the
challenge intensifies. Rick has one quick conversation with
a gallery employee who dies minutes later in a brutal fall
from a high cliff. Has the trade in fraudulent artifacts
upgraded to murder? Are the traffickers already on to Rick? The local Commissario and his team consider Rick an amateur,
and worse, a foreigner. Plus Rick is a suspect in what
proves to be the dead man’s murder. While the Volterra squad
pursues its leads, Rick and the Volterra museum director
continue to interview his list: a top gallery owner, a
low-profile import/export businessman and his enterprising
color-coordinated assistant, a sensuous heiress with a
private art specialty and clientele. When Rick’s lover
Erica, an art history professor, arrives from Rome to visit
him, she rekindles a friendship with an alluring, maybe
dangerous, heiress. Has Rick’s role made him the target of
both cops and criminals?
