MURDER & MARGHERITA

A hidden map. A presumed-dead mob boss. A family secret worth killing for.



Isabella "Bella" Rossi thought she knew everything about her late father and the history of her family's beloved Tuscan estate, Villa Della Luna. But while clearing out a dusty attic, she uncovers a hidden lockbox containing a cryptic, hand-drawn map of the ancient catacombs beneath Naples-and a shocking photograph of her father standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Don Vincenzo, a notorious, presumed-dead boss of the Neapolitan Camorra.



Desperate to prove her father wasn't a criminal, Bella travels to the chaotic, sun-drenched streets of Naples with Maresciallo Matteo De Luca, her fiercely protective Nonna Rosa, and her loyal three-legged terrier, Dante. But when the local historian helping them decode the map is assassinated in the middle of a crowded, historic pizzeria, Bella realizes her father's past is a deadly, active threat.



Hunted by a modern crime syndicate and a corrupt local police captain who steals their only physical evidence, Bella and Matteo must plunge into the terrifying, pitch-black labyrinth of the Napoli Sotterranea. Guided by a rogue underground tour guide, they navigate ancient Roman cisterns, survive explosive cave-ins, and race against the clock to find the legendary mobster's hidden vault before the evidence is destroyed forever.



"Murder & Margherita" is the gripping twelfth installment in The Tuscan Vineyard Mysteries. Swapping the peaceful rolling hills of Tuscany for the dangerous, pizza-scented alleyways of Naples, this high-stakes cozy thriller proves that some family secrets are best left in the dark-unless you have a grandmother armed with a wooden spoon and an absolute refusal to back down.
