Francesca Loftfield, a twenty-seven-year-old, starry-eyed American, arrives in the isolated mountain village of Santa Chionia tasked with opening a nursery school. There is no road, no doctor, no running water or electricity. And thanks to a recent flood that swept away the post office, there's no mail, either. Most troubling, though, is the human skeleton that surfaced after the flood waters receded. Who is it? And why don't the police come and investigate? When an old woman begs Francesca to help determine if the remains are those of her long-missing son, Francesca begins to ask a lot of inconvenient questions. As an outsider, she might be the only person who can uncover the truth. Or she might be getting in over her head. As she attempts to juggle a nosy landlady, a suspiciously dashing shepherd, and a network of local families bound together by a code of silence, Francesca finds herself forced to choose between the charitable mission that brought her to Santa Chionia, and her future happiness, between truth and survival. Set in the wild heart of Calabria, a land of sheer cliff faces, ancient tradition, dazzling sunlight-and one of the world's most ruthless criminal syndicates-The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia is a suspenseful puzzle mystery, a captivating romance, and an affecting portrait of a young woman in search of a meaningful life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 7 $a FICTION / World Literature / Italy $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FIC022100 $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Mystery & Detective / Amateur Sleuth $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Young women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cold cases (Criminal investigation) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen sixties $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Italy, Southern $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Grames, Juliet. $t Lost boy of Santa Chionia $b First edition. $d New York : Alfred A.
