Summary

At the age of 65, a retired Warren Steelgrave is getting bored with life. He decides that unlike his friends his age, he is not going to sit around playing golf, waiting to die. He is going to Italy to start the last chapter of his life and find adventure. Be careful what you wish for - adventure is what he finds.

He falls in love with Cindy O'Brian, a singer/songwriter in his Italian language class in Florence Italy. Little did they realize the chain of events that would engulf them. Someone was watching, but who and why? He discovers she might not be who she appears to be, but still decides to help her flee Italy, and the chase begins. Before it's over, there will be two dead bodies, a secret government file, a jealous husband, fake identities, a safe house, personal betrayal, as the FBI is searching for them and others want to kill them both.

The best book ever

I loved this book. it had action, love, sadness, and a happily ever after. I love stories where the alpha male is a protector and the woman can give as good as she gets. you won't be disappointed

Enjoyable listen

I really enjoyed the story, even though I did predict the villain/s pretty quickly. I’d still recommend it for anyone wanting a murder mystery with light romantic tension.
