About this listen
Murder awaits discovery.
The wildest corner of Puglia, home to potent saints, fearsome mafia clans, hidden catacombs and sinister ceremonies, does not willingly surrender her secrets, but when Bologna's English detective Daniel Leicester heads south for a family visit, old grudges are resurrected and fresh life is breathed into ancient superstitions.
Daniel soon finds himself and his Italian father-in-law, the Comandante, drawn into a search for missing artefacts, while his daughter's camping trip with Daniel's colleague Dolores does not turn out precisely as planned.
After a contact is gruesomely murdered, Daniel is faced with going into hiding or bringing the perpetrators to justice - no easy choice when, as one local mobster puts it: 'if you dine off fine porcelain, you can't beat people who graze on grass'.
Discover Puglia's bewitching Gargano region with the seventh Daniel Leicester mystery, the most propulsive yet.

'A real treat. One of the few series that I've read throughout and this is the best of the lot. Beautifully drawn characters, a wonderful evocation of Bologna, a twisty plot and a genuinely moving and clever callback to an earlier event. Oozes class.' - Trevor Wood, author of the DCI Jack Parker series
