She doesn't mean to get embroiled in solving crimes, it just happens. But not this time. Accompanying her folklorist husband Nick on his research sabbatical in Italy to study a Tuscan celebration, Leah is safe, contentedly working on an article for a travel magazine about the area's ancient Etruscan trails. One early morning she sets off on a simple hike to take photos for her piece. What could possibly happen? Well...murder. And Leah becomes a witness with proof. Barely escaping the killer and suddenly entangled in the local drug culture and the intrigue of family devastations, Leah outmaneuvers Nick and police Lieutenant Cavour to pursue a series of random clues that lead not to answers, but to a second body at the bottom of a refuse hole. Convinced the isolated trail of the Tuscan forest holds the answer to both deaths, Leah sets off alone. In a last, deadly encounter, she learns two things: evil can slip into the smallest cracks, and the love of a community can carry us through the hardest times. 650 0 $a Murder $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Tuscany (Italy) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mysteries. 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231003012050.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220302013510.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=385E05D899F911ECBB37442E4AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
