DEATH OF A DUTCHMAN
The second Guarnaccia mystery. A goldsmith in Piazza Santo Spirito is
found dying in his dust-sheeted flat. If the marshal was hoping his last
words would be helpful he was disappointed. All he said was, ‘It
wasn’t her.’ The marshal has to fight against his superiors’
decision to call it suicide and against the devastating heat of Florence
in July. His only witnesses are a ninety year old woman, notorious for
her vicious lies, and a blind man.
‘Your first novel was a coup de maitre, your second
is a masterpiece.’ George Simenon.
