490 1  Rick Montoya Italian mysteries 
520    Orvieto--its very name brings to mind priceless art, 
       colorful ceramics, and straw-colored wine. And the most 
       famous cathedral facade in Italy, a structure of gothic 
       spires, arches, statues, and mosaics. But as Rick Montoya 
       discovers, this jewel of Umbria can have an ugly side as 
       well. When Rick Montoya moved to his mother's Italy from 
       his father's Santa Fe, New Mexico, to work as a freelance 
       translator using his dual heritage, he didn't expect to be
       helping the Italian police. His maternal uncle, a high-
       level commissioner in Rome, however, sees no reason not to
       use the resources at hand.  Rick's fourth investigation 
       should not have involved crime. It begins when Rick is 
       asked by his uncle to go to Orvieto to talk some sense 
       into his cousin Fabrizio, whose fling with an older 
       married woman is embarrassing the family. Rick agrees to 
       give it a try, and plans a short but romantic weekend in 
       Orvieto with Betta Innocenti, the woman he met in Bassano.
       What could go wrong?  Less than a day after their arrival,
       his language skills draw him into the brutal murder of an 
       American visitor. He finds that he knows the policeman in 
       charge, but Inspector LoGuercio has changed since the time
       they met in Volterra. The murdered woman had studied art 
       in Italy decades earlier. Why has she returned now? And 
       why was she dumped at night on a dusty road? Through her 
       traveling companions, her devastated daughter and best 
       friend, as well as a growing list of those who knew her 
       from her student days, they realize she had come to 
       Orvieto to face the past. And then a second murder occurs 
       in a public park, with Montoya so close that he wonders if
       he could have been the intended target. Is all this 
       connected to Fabrizio and his affair, or to the American's
       death? More violence erupts, some of it definitely 
       directed at Rick himself. Strong suspects, tantalizing 
       secrets, concealed motives, and risky behaviors tie to a 
       fascinating landscape and layers of Orvieto's past.
