Murder in Pitigliano

A new installment in Trincheri’s mystery series is a call for nothing less than celebration. Retired NYPD detective Nico Doyle, now living in Tuscany, takes it upon himself to investigate a murder that has torn a family apart. A message discreetly deposited in the collar of Nico’s dog (“Please help my babbo”) by Cilia, a seven-year-old girl, piques Nico’s interest. Enough that he decides to take up the investigation and locate Saverio, Cilia’s father, who disappeared after his partner in an electronics store was killed, with Saverio the carabinieri’s number one suspect. Nico starts by questioning some of the local folk and friends in Gravigna, his hometown, but eventually he heads off to the larger, beautiful town of Pitigliano, where the murder took place. Rich in culture, food, wine and—above all else—friendship, this is sure to be loved by fans of cozyish series, gentle police procedurals, and Italia!
