Introducing Marshal Salvatore Guarnaccia of the Florentine
carabinieri, a Sicilian stationed far from home. He wants to go
south for Christmas to spend the holiday with his family, but he is
laid up with the 'flu. At this awkward moment, the death of a
retired Englishman is reported. A most inconvenient time for a
murder case. Who has shot Mr Langley-Smythe in the back? And why
has Scotland Yard felt it appropriate to send two detectives, one
of whom speaks no Italian, to 'help' the marshal and his colleagues
with their investigation? Most importantly for the marshal, ever
the Italian, will he be able to solve the crime in time to join his
family over the holiday season? This first book in the ever popular
detective series is a wonderfully evocative piece of crime fiction
and quasi-travel writing, as the reader is immediately transported
into the heart of Florence, one of Italy's most beautiful cities.
