Murder at La Cappella

Ex-NYPD homicide detective Nico Doyle thought life in the Tuscan countryside would be quiet. That was before a beloved local bartender vanished.


When eighty-year-old Cesare Costanzi disappears from the village of Gravigna, concern quickly turns to shock. On a lonely road outside Florence, Nico's dog, OneWag, alerts him to a strange smell coming from a car. Inside lies Cesare's body, stabbed to death.


Why was a well-liked old man murdered? And how did he end up in an innocent man's car? With the village rattled, Nico is drawn into another deadly investigation.
