Some Bitter Taste

Meer over het boek

"Sara Hirsch is a nervous elderly spinster who still lives in the Florentine flat in which she was raised. Frightened, she calls Marshal Guarnaccia for help, sure that strangers have been in her apartment. The Marshal knows she is a lonely and terrified old woman, but he is preoccupied with an investigation into an Albanian prostitution ring. Before he can respond to her latest alarm, she is found dead." "The Marshal's search for the villains who precipitated her death brings him into confrontation with the past, with Albanian refugees and with English expatriates, including the ailing heir to the elegant Villa L'Uliveto, Sir Christopher Wrothesly."--BOOK JACKET
