Deception in Siena
Book #1 in the Antonio Cortese Mysteries
American Antonio Cortese, a retired detective and Italian restaurant owner, is visiting extended family in Tuscany. He has come looking for peace and to move beyond a major tragedy in his life.
While bicycling the back roads of Chianti with his cousin, nineteen-year-old Giulia, the two of them are run off the road in an obvious attempt to bring harm, leaving Giulia in a coma.
Now an injured Antonio—with his uncle Nicolo--Giulia's father, and the lead detective in Siena--seek to find whoever did this and bring them to justice. Though they each have a different idea what that looks like.
