A secluded villa…

When Dan Armstrong is asked to provide security at a private villa on the outskirts of Pisa, he’s pretty sure it will be an easy job. Villa Gregory is remote; the gathered guests are rich – what could possibly go wrong?

A glittering gathering...

Inside the high walls of the palatial villa, Dan discovers the gathered guests are some of the most powerful tycoons in the media world, with plans for world domination. With so much at stake, Dan redoubles his efforts to keep everyone safe.

A detective under pressure?

But when one of the group is found murdered, Dan’s heart sinks – especially considering Anna’s own daughter is in the frame! When the police arrive, Dan meets formidable Inspector Adolfo Vinci, a man whose main talent seems to be for getting things wrong. It all goes from bad to worse for Dan as the man from the Leaning Tower starts leaning on him.

It's another case for Dan and Oscar to solve and this one won't be easy!

What a star Oscar is, I mean Dan is pretty good too, but Oscar is clearly the brains of their operations at times.  Or at least it feels like Dan's investigative career wouldn't bee half as strong without my favourite labrador sidekick! 

So good to be back with this pair, and in this latest story we get yet another head scratching murder to solve.  There are loads of possible suspects  and I honestly had no idea who to believe. 

The local Pisan inspector though was completely incompetent, and at least one of his wrongful arrests really made me laugh and gasp. 

What I really liked was we got to see a bit of Anna's daughter, and see a slightly different side to Dan as a result.  And I am still deadly curious as to exactly what the big meeting that has being held in Pisa was really all about, 

I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this and already can't wait for the next book in this excellent book. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
