What to expect
A cozy crime series set in gorgeous Tuscany...It's murder in paradise!
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!
A gripping murder mystery series by bestselling author T.A. Williams, perfect for fans of Death in Paradise, Lee Strauss and Beth Byers.

Simon Mattacks and TA Williams are like cream and scones - perfectly complimentary. The author writes brilliant cozy crime novels which contain a level of violence which doesn't upset their cozy description while retaining the thrill of a more modern variant of the private detective novels of yore. On to the next one!
