Marshal Guarnaccia is singled out to solve the death of a reclusive single mother with a dysfunctional family in the 14th and final installment of the series set in Florence. Our hero is stuck working through the month of August in a Florence that's "pretty empty except for tourists." Things heat up in more ways than one when Guarnaccia is called to investigate the murder of a single mother who is working towards her doctorate. The crime scene is her family's ritzy villa, with swimming pool out back and foreign cars in the driveway, none of which appeals to the old-fashioned marshall who would prefer to see a "nice orchard" or a "vineyard" on the property. It turns out that the source of these riches is not the father's nightclub, but his involvement in the sex trade. With his favorite colleagues on vacation, his favorite restaurants closed, and his wife away caring for his ailing sister, the lonely Guarnaccia finds himself joining forces with the dean of local crime reporters.  (ITL938, $13.00)
