Cold Tuscan Stone

Volterra's narrow, twisting streets turn dangerous after dark

Rick Montoya has moved from New Mexico to Rome, embracing the life of a translator. He's settling in to la dolce vita when a school friend who is now senior in the Italian Art Squad recruits Rick for an unofficial undercover role--posing as an art buyer from New Mexico, interested in black market Etruscan burial urns. But before sunset on Rick's first day in Volterra, a gallery employee plunges to his death from a high cliff.

The local Commissario and his team consider Rick an amateur, and worse, a foreigner. And now they suspect him of foul play...

Has Rick's undercover role made him a target in more ways than one?
