He understands the nuances of Italian manners and mentality as well as the glorious national preoccupation with food.\"―Publishers Weekly\nThe most famous cathedral façade in Italy is found in Umbria―a structure of gothic spires, arches, statues, and mosaics. But as translator Rick Montoya discovers, this jewel of Umbria has a dark side\nWhen Rick Montoya traveled to his mother's Italy from his father's Santa Fe, New Mexico, to work as a freelance translator using his dual heritage, he didn't expect to be helping the Italian police. His maternal uncle, a high-level commissioner in Rome, however, sees no reason not to use the resources at hand.\nThe trouble begins when Rick is asked by his uncle to go to Orvieto to talk some sense into his cousin Fabrizio, whose fling with an older married woman is embarrassing the family. Rick agrees to give it a try.\nLess than a day after arrival, his language skills draw him into the brutal murder of an American visitor. The murdered woman had studied art in Italy decades earlier―why has she returned now? And when a second murder occurs in a public park―narrowly missing Rick himself―he can't help but wonder if his family has anything to do with the case.\nIn this addition to David P. Wagner's mystery books, a dark past casts its shadow over the picturesque city of Umbria. Is it possible to right the wrongs of the past and remain unscathed?\nOther books in the Rick Montoya Italian Mysteries:\nCold Tuscan Stone\nDeath in the Dolomites\nMurder Most Unfortunate\nReturn to Umbria\nA Funeral in Mantova\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1464206112\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1464206112.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wagner, David P.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
