Lisa Scottoline: The Unraveling of Julia, Gebunden

Blurb

"A compelling thriller with excellent twists!" (Karin Slaughter, New York Timesbestselling author) in which a young widow inherits a mysterious Tuscan estate and finds herself thrust into a dangerous conspiracy---twisty and transportive, this is suspense with a passport.

One awful night, Julia Pritzker witnesses the murder of her beloved husband during a mugging on a Philadelphia street. Later, while grieving him, she's suddenly fearful that her fate is written in the stars, not held in her own hands.

Her luck seems to change when stunning news arrives from Italy, informing her that she's inherited a fortune, a Tuscan villa, and a vineyard. But she's mystified by her Italian benefactor, a total stranger named Emilia Rossi. She flies to Tuscany for answers.

There, Julia learns that Rossi suffered from delusions of grandeur, believing herself to be a descendant of Caterina Sforza, a powerful Renaissance duchess. Julia doubts that is true, but she can't deny the uncanny resemblance between her, Caterina, and Rossi. She starts to unearth eerie parallels between them---and disturbing secrets.

Before long, Julia suspects she's being followed and experiences disorienting delusions of her own. Even meeting a romantic Florentine doesn't quiet her unease. Then events turn deadly, and Julia finds herself in a harrowing struggle for sanity and survival.
