The seventh atmospheric crime thriller in the Daniel Leicester series, set in the historic Italian city of Puglia. Perfect for fans of Donna Leon, Michael Dibdin and Philip Gwynne Jones.
A curse bides its time. Murder awaits discovery.
English detective Daniel Leicester has been summoned by a dying relative to the wildest corner of Puglia, home to revered saints, fearsome mafia clans, hidden catacombs and sinister ceremonies.
As Daniel discovers that his Italian family's history runs deep in the veins of Puglia, old grudges resurface and life is breathed into ancient superstitions. He is enchanted by the mysteries of the region and joins a search for stolen antiquities, but when a contact is gruesomely murdered by mobsters, it's clear that mafia rule is more powerful than local mysticism.
Lured by magic but trapped by the mob, Daniel finds himself unable to return to his beloved Bologna. His family is bound to Puglia tighter than he ever imagined, and powerful people want answers he can't give. And when Daniel's daughter is snatched from the streets during a Holy Week procession, he sees first-hand just how far they're prepared to go . . .
Discover Puglia's bewitching Gargano region with the seventh Daniel Leicester mystery, the most propulsive yet.
