 Strange dealings are afoot in the Apostolic Palace-a nun leapt to her death shortly after participating in a seemingly routine exorcism.

Still relishing the notoriety from her spectacular resolution of the Candela case, Poldi is alive to the faintest whiff of criminality.

What to others might seem a series of misfortunes - the water supply cut off, a poisoned dog - is clearly, to Poldi, an escalation: the Mafia have had her in their sights ever since she solved Valentino's murder.

Poldi has tasted blood. No one is above suspicion.

There's a new detective in town" (People Magazine). Now available in paperback, the delightfully sexy and bighearted novel starring Auntie Poldi, Sicily's newest amateur sleuth



 "To the ranks of amateur sleuths, from Miss Marple to Jessica Fletcher, welcome Auntie Poldi." - Newsday



 On her sixtieth birthday, Auntie Poldi retires to Sicily, intending to while away the rest of her days with good wine, a view of the sea, and few visitors. But Sicily isn't quite the tranquil island she thought it would be. When her handsome young handyman goes missing-and is discovered murdered-she can't help but ask questions. Soon there's an investigation, a smoldering police inspector, a romantic entanglement, one false lead after another, a rooftop showdown, and finally, of course, Poldi herself, slightly tousled but still perfectly poised. This "masterly treat" (Times Literary Supplement) will transport you to the rocky shores of Torre Archirafi, to a Sicily full of quirky characters, scorching days, and velvety nights, alongside a protagonist who's as fiery as the Sicilian sun.

A murder spoils her plans. This is the first novel in a charming new mystery series set in Sicily and laced with Italian sensuality and humor. It features an amateur sleuth, the sassy and foul-mouthed Auntie Poldi. Recently widowed Poldi moves to Sicily in order to quietly drink herself to death with a sea view, but fate intervenes. When she finds the corpse of a young man on the beach, his face blown off with a sawn-off shotgun, she becomes a potential suspect in his murder case. Poldi soon falls for the gorgeous Commissario Montana who has been assigned to lead the case. They form an investigative-and romantic-partnership. The delightful details of this romance, and the extreme awkwardness of Poldi's retelling it to her mortified nephew, are some of the novel's many high points. Sicily, a vivid backdrop, is an island of people obsessed with food. They talk passionately about which remote village produces the best olives, pistachio ice cream, oyster mushrooms, mandarins, and marzipan, and about which restaurant serves the best pasta al nero di sepia or canolli a la crema di ricotta. And there is never a direct reference to the mafia ("an invention of those fascists in the North"), even when confronted with murders committed with sawn-off shotguns.]]></description><link>https://flatriver.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13535033</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://flatriver.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13535033</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Giordano, Mario]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://flatriver.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/13535033981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781501977312/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tante Poldi und die Früchte des Herrn]]></title><description><![CDATA[Tante Poldi ist sauer: Zuerst wird ihr das Wasser abgestellt, dann auch noch der Hund ihrer Freundin um die Ecke gebracht.

Zwei parallele, fast identische Welten. Die eine schreibt das Jahr 2011, die andere das Jahr 2013. 2011 steht die Welt am Rande des Untergangs - die Welt 2013 dagegen ahnt nichts von der Apokalypse. 2011: Als Franz Laurenz den Mord an Edward Kelly live im Fernsehen miterlebt, fliegt er umgehend nach Rom zurück. Erneut als Papst Johannes Paul III. bestätigt, beginnt Franz Laurenz mit den Vorbereitungen, die Menschheit vor der Apokalypse zu retten. Gleichzeitig sucht Maria in Jerusalem mit unerwarteter Unterstützung nach der Büchse der Pandora. Ebenso wie ein dämonisches Kind namens Raymond. 2013: Der Collegeprofessor Peter Adam hat apokalyptische Visionen. Als seine Frau und seine kleine Tochter Maya bei einem Flugzeugabsturz ums Leben kommen, eröffnet ihm sein Bruder Nikolas, dass ihr Tod im Zusammenhang mit den Aktivitäten eines okkulten Ordens stehe. Zu spät erkennt Peter, dass er der Schlüssel zu allem ist. Dass er das Böse längst entfesselt hat. Und dass nur er das Ende der Welt noch aufhalten kann.]]></description><link>https://flatriver.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16565580</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://flatriver.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16565580</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[ger]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Giordano, Mario]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://flatriver.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/16565580981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>ger</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9783838777962/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lion Man]]></title><description><![CDATA[Back in Rome, Peter discovers his entire body covered in an enigmatic tattoo, including images of a man with the head of a lion.
