“Filled with interesting character sketches and the dirt of Italian street life . . . a haunting and troubling crime story” from the author of Death in August (Crime Time UK). It is April of 1964, and the cruelest month is breeding bad weather and worse news. And plenty of disturbing news is coming to Florence detective Inspector Bordelli. Bordelli’s friend, Casimiro, insists he’s discovered the body of a man in a field above Fiesole. Bordelli races to the scene, but doesn’t find any sign of a corpse. Only a couple of days later, a little girl is found at Villa Ventaglio. She has been strangled, and there is a horrible bite mark on her belly. Then another young girl is found murdered, with the same macabre signature. And meanwhile, Casimiro has disappeared without a trace. This new investigation marks the start of one of the darkest periods of Bordelli’s life: a nightmare without end, as black as the sky above Florence.

Death in August

A Novel

By: Marco Vichi

A new crime series full of Italian flavor—the 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 bed—apparently killed by an asthma attack, though her medicine has been left untouched. With the help of his young protégé, the victim’s eccentric brother, and a semi-retired petty thief, the inspector begins a murder investigation. Each suspect has a solid alibi, but there is something that doesn’t quite add up . . .

Angelina

By: Marco Piras

Sarebbe bello ricordarla così, nel suo abito sardo indossato un po’ per dovere un po’ per necessità, ma sicuramente per dovuto rispetto della sua terra natia. Un insieme di ricordi, misti a profumi e sapori di un tempo dimenticato. Un libro che credo rispecchi la virtuosità, i sacrifici, le gioie e i dolori delle genti di Villamassargia. Un libro semplice nel suo genere, ma che porta il lettore indietro nel tempo, sperando che trasmetta ancora il vivido ricordo di lei, zia Angelina, per me suocera e mamma.
