Product Description

Book Description

The final Marshal Guarnaccia novel from acclaimed crime writer Magdalen Nabb

'Credible, classy and compelling, this is crime fiction at its best' Sunday Times

Product Description

When Marshal Guarnaccia is called upon to investigate the murder of a young woman he is convinced that there's more to the family than meets the eye, and wonders if the girl's father, Paoletti, might have had something to do with her death.

Enlisting the help of a local journalist, Marshal Guarnaccia's investigations draw him into the seedy underworld of Florence - lap dancing, prostitution and the illegal human trafficking of Eastern European women who are sold into the sex trade. But can he save these women before it's too late, and what do they have to do with the killing of Daniela Paoletti? Distracted by the plight of these women and the murder investigation, Guarnaccia forgets about his own personal problems; but it's not long before he has choices to make - should he seek help and risk exposing himself and possibly losing his job, or should he go it alone?

A fitting finale 19 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
A woeful year for fans of Italian crime novels with the death of Magdalen Nabb as well as Michael Dibdin. And, as with Dibdin, another fitting finale. No need to outline the plot as that's amply covered in the product description. Suffice it to say the book is poignant, gripping and a sad indictment of the Italian system. Well worth reading, but if you're new to Marshall Guarnaccia, start with the earlier novels and work forward. I've read them all, as with Dibdin's Zen. I'm now reduced to waiting for new Donna Leon and Andrea Camilleri books, and I can read them far quicker than they can write them!

A fitting memorial 24 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
I was greatly saddened when I learned of the death of Magdalen Nabb. Her writing had evolved and the stories likewise with an assurance that was most compelling. And so the long wait (around 18 months) to be able to purchase this book was one of expectation: entirely fulfilled. The marshall is here so familiar to his creator that he eases into words of great felicity. The last page may or may not have been crafted in a rush. And yet so it seems. Irony is a tone very much out of character for this deeply humane and much missed author. Rereading earlier works in the series is equally pleasing.

This is the Marshall at his best. His observations are, as always, wholly believable and yet so revealing of both the character and the author. Magdalen Nabb will be sorely missed!
