Murder in paradise. In beautiful Tuscany, life seemed like a golden paradise with the picturesque rolling hills, the luscious food and wine, and the warmth of the local people. Then they found the body... Hilary Wright finds Ettore Fagiolo, a flamboyant local real estate agent, floating in Nigel and Robin Proctor's ugly, pink swimming pool. When the magistrate in charge of the case declares Ettore's death to be a murder, Hilary finds herself drawn into the investigation. At first she's a suspect, then she becomes the vital link between the police and the scandalous ex-pat community.
