A new crime series full of Italian flavorβthe first novel in the Inspector Bordelli series, set in 1960s Florence
Florence, summer 1963. Inspector Bordelli is one of the few policemen left in the deserted city. He spends his days on routine work and his nights tormented by the heat and mosquitoes.
Suddenly one night, a telephone call gives him a new sense of purpose: the suspected death of a wealthy signora. Bordelli rushes to her hilltop villa and picks the locks. The old woman is lying on her bedβapparently killed by an asthma attack, though her medicine has been left untouched.
