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.
