Publisher Comments:

Praise for Magdalen Nabb:

"Every word should be savored."-Washington Post Book World

"The best mystery news in ages is that Soho is restoring to the canon Magdalen Nabb and her tremendous creation, Marshal Guarnaccia of the Italian Police in Florence."-Chicago Tribune

"Exquisite."-The New York Times Book Review

"Nabb continues to extend conventions of the police procedural to suit her own intriguing vision and purpose."-Philadelphia Inquirer

Review:

"Marshal Guarnaccia of the Pitti Palace finds himself investigating a seemingly purposeless killing in a poor quarter of Florence. By dint not of brilliant deduction but of nagging police work, Guarnaccia exposes the murderer. This is the sixth in Nabb's series involving the Marshal and continues its high quality. The mystery is absorbing, the characterizations precise and penetrating, and her re-creation of a Florentine August is vivid and compelling." Reviewed by Andrew Witmer, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)

Synopsis:

Long out of print, this mystery featuring Nabb's Marshal Guarnaccia finds him having to piece together the events of a tragic night 20 years earlier in order to solve a present-day murder.
