Book description
When Marshal Guarnaccia is called upon to investigate the murder of a
young woman he is convinced that there's more to the family than meets
the eye, and wonders if the girl's father, Paoletti, might have had
something to do with her death.
Enlisting the help of a local journalist, Marshal Guarnaccia's
investigations draw him into the seedy underworld of Florence - lap
dancing, prostitution and the illegal human trafficking of Eastern
European women who are sold into the sex trade. But can he save these
women before it's too late, and what do they have to do with the
killing of Daniela Paoletti? Distracted by the plight of these women
and the murder investigation, Guarnaccia forgets about his own
personal problems; but it's not long before he has choices to make -
should he seek help and risk exposing himself and possibly losing his
job, or should he go it alone?
