Description
Ex-NYPD detective Nico Doyle finds himself unwittingly stepping into the role of a PI to investigate a murder that has torn a young family apart in this rustic mystery set in the beautiful Medieval village of Pitigliano, Italy. One morning at his favorite café, Nico Doyle notices Cilia, a seven-year-old girl he has never seen before, frolicking with his dog on the floor. He later discovers she has left a note in his collar--Please help my babbo. With help from the local carabinieri, Nico discovers that Cilia's father, Saverio, has fled town following an unfortunate incident. His business partner was killed at their electronics store, and Saverio is the hot-headed local carabiniere's main suspect. Cilia's mother, Livia, who just moved to Gravigna to get away from Pitigliano's wagging tongues, asks Nico to find the real killer and hands him a long list of suspects. Against his better judgment, Nico accepts for Cilia's sake. Since the case is outside of the local carabinieri's jurisdiction, Nico finds himself on his own as he travels back and forth to Pitigliano. He goes down Livia's list of suspects one by one in pursuit of the truth, putting his skills as a retired NYPD detective to work. But will Livia and her little girl be happy with what Nico finds?

--First Clue Reviews
"Readers seeking well-crafted cozy mysteries like Louise Penny's or M.L. Longworth's will enjoy Trinchieri's fine story-craft as much as they do the Tuscan setting."
--Booklist "Trinchieri's fifth Tuscan mystery continues to expand Nico's adopted community . . . Come for the whodunit, stay for the sweet life. Mangia!"
--Kirkus Reviews Praise for the Tuscan Mysteries "An expertly crafted whodunnit with a vivid cast of characters."
--Tom Benjamin, author of the Bologna-set Daniel Leicester mysteries "Most enjoyable. The Road to Murder takes the reader to Tuscany, where the scenery, the culture, and the food of that most beautiful part of Italy are as important as the main protagonists . . . Warning: reading this will make you hungry."
