Drowning in Betrayal
Book #4 in the Antonio Cortese Mysteries
As the COVID19 pandemic releases its grip on Italy and the rest of the world, Antonio and his new wife, Gabriella, a Colonello in the Carabinieri, are finally able to reconnect for their long overdue honeymoon. They join Antonio’s Uncle Nicolo, Aunt Sofia, and Antonio’s newly widowed sister, Alessia, on a sailing yacht to cruise the sun-soaked French Riviera and Italian coasts.
Antonio is happier than he has been in years but their idyllic time is short lived as they are drawn into a deadly Corsican vendetta with roots going back to the Second World War. They vow not to become involved but find themselves drowning in an ocean of betrayal and deceit which threatens to destroy their very lives. They must work together to unravel a dark past and painful truth, no matter how close to home it falls.
