Death Of A Dutchman cover

Classic Italian crime fiction by the Donna Leon of Florence, the acclaimed Magdalen Nabb ('Credible, classy and compelling, this is crime fiction at its best' Sunday Times).

There was enough trouble around to keep the police busy for months. All over Florence tourists were being robbed, cars stolen, and somewhere in the city terrorists were quietly at work. But the only witnesses were a blind man, and an old woman given to vicious lying. Yet the Marshal felt uneasy - it was all so conveniently simple...There was enough trouble around to keep the police busy for months. All over Florence tourists were being robbed, cars stolen, and somewhere in the city terrorists were quietly at work. So the suicide of a Dutch jeweller looked like an open and shut case.

'Credible, classy and compelling, this is crime fiction at its best' * Sunday Times *
'The intrigue is absorbing, and the Florentine background brilliantly portrayed... We fans...are as fascinated by [Guarnaccia's] diet as by his deductions.' * Evening Standard *
'A perfect example of crime-and-pleasure... so cunningly plotted that it is only at the end that you realise that not one strand of the intricate tapestry has been superfluous...' -- Antonia Fraser * Spectator *
'Wonderfully satisfying' * Daily Mail *
