A Season for the Dead
In a hushed Vatican Reading Room, the scene is shocking: a crazed professor shot dead after brandishing evidence of a grisly crime. Moments later, two bodies are found in a nearby church, each with a gruesome calling card from their killer.
Detective Nic Costa is one of the first on the scene. A cop who barely looks his twenty-seven years, Nic soon meets a woman who will dominate both his thoughts?and his investigation. A cool, beautiful professor of early Christianity, Sara Farnese was in the Vatican Library on that fateful day, a witness to her colleague?s outburst and grotesque death.
And as more bodies are found, her role becomes even more baffling?because each victim had intimately known Sara, a woman whose history becomes more lurid and unfathomable with each revelation. Until the case takes a sudden, strange turn?and the secrets of a woman, a killer, and a city begin to unravel?with devastating consequences?. more

- Lackluster Roman mystery novel
I agree with the reviewer who said, "Good, but not a home run." I had high hopes and it started off relatively well with what I thought would be characters I'd care about and interesting art & Roman detail. It was a bit vague on the...
