One dead art collector and a gallery of suspects. . . this Tuscan vacation just turned deadly. Translator Rick Montoya is looking forward to a quiet weekend away in beautiful Urbino with his girlfriend, Betta, an art fraud investigator for the Italian Culture Ministry. While Betta does have official business - namely, collecting a priceless Piero drawing from a wealthy Spanish collector - she asks Rick to join her ' in case she needs an interpreter;' but Betta and Rick begin their journey with less official intentions in mind. . . When the Spaniard is found murdered and the drawing stolen, Betta must shift back into art-cop mode, and Rick' s official services are required after all. Will this lovers' getaway literally be to die for? ' An armchair traveler' s delight. ' - Publishers Weekly' It' s a win-win for all involved, including the reader. ' - Kirkus Reviews
"An armchair traveler' s delight. " - Publishers Weekly "It' s a win-win for all involved, including the reader. " - Kirkus Reviews "Vivid, often lyrical descriptions of Italian towns with their architecture, food, and wine bring the setting to life. Art history and the portrayal and meaning of individual works of art are seamlessly incorporated. " - Booklist
