What to expect
Even angels can have a dark side...
As the sticky heat of August settles over Florence, Dan Armstrong is ready for a well-earned break—sightseeing with fiancée Anna, daughter Tricia and her fiancé Shaun. But when a British man is found dead inside the city’s magnificent Duomo, Dan’s plans quickly change.
The victim, Tristan Angel, is a super-wealthy arms dealer with a saintly name and a devilish reputation. But what was he doing in the cathedral, and who decided to make it his final confession?
At Angel’s opulent villa in the hills of Fiesole, Dan and Commissario Virgilio encounter a colourful cast of suspects—each one hiding secrets and none too eager to talk. As tempers rise and the heat outside grows ever more intense, Dan and his four-legged sidekick, Oscar, must sniff out the truth before the killer strikes again.
Praise for T A Williams:
'Another wholly enjoyable and entertaining instalment to this now long running series with a delicious backdrop, a well crafted and likeable cast, a pacy, well written narrative and a solid mystery at its heart."

An especially pleasant aspect of TA Williams' Armstrong and Oscar novels is the development of the personal and familial background story of the main characters. It isn't simply a series of independent and unrelated murder mysteries but independent murder mysteries which occur within an ongoing narrative. Simon Mattacks is as great as ever narrating the novels and the author's stories are always intriguing.
