Hardback: For me, justice for the individual, be he the humblest, is everything. All else comes after. - Gandhi
In his dark and fetid prison cell, serial killer Daniele de Robertis plans his retribution. The betrayals he has suffered haunt his dreams until, one night, he escapes.
In a small, beautiful village in the Tuscan countryside a prominent lawyer and his wife are murdered.
As the police inspect the scene they find nine terrifying photographs: nine women, slaughtered.
It is Florentine Police Chief Michele Ferrara's worst nightmare: a case involving the untouchable men and women at the top of Italian society, a dark and powerful cult which knows no bounds, and mounting victims.
Amongst a web of obsession, manipulation and violence, Ferrara must face his demons.
Death Under a Tuscan Sun is an incredibly gripping and atmospheric work of detective fiction, written with incomparable authenticity by former Florentine police chief Michele Giuttari.
Death Under a Tuscan Sun (2015) is the seventh book in the clever and fast-moving Chief Superintendent Michele Ferrara series set in Florence and translated from the Italian into the English by Isabelle Kaufeler.
