Klappentext
When the body of Buongianni Corsi is found lying face down in the courtyard of the Palazzo Ulderighi there seems no doubt in the minds of his family that his death was an accident. The Marchesa wife of the dead man will entertain no other possibility and her power and status in the city means that Marshal Guarnaccia questions at his peril. But question he does.
The death could have been suicide or even murder. Guarnaccia knows something is not quite right and resents being expected to go along with any possible cover up. The Palazzo is a maze of passageways darkened corridors locked rooms and something else a family secret. Can he ignore his instincts and his integrity? Should he press on with the case risk his job and maybe more? As he paces the courtyard of the Palazzo he is haunted by the strange piano and flute music that filters down from above as well as by the irresistible conviction that something truly sinister has happened there...
Biografie
Magdalen Nabb never returned from holidays in Florence in 1975. She liked it there, and that was why she stayed. She worked as a teacher and potter. In Manchester she had studied at the college of art and then started to write. She began with a play that was performed in London, as well as eight children's books, some of which were filmed. Then, in 1981, she wrote her first detective novel, Death of an Englishman (German translation: Tod eines Engländers), which earned a "Bravissimo!" from no less than Georges Simenon. Now that her detective novels are also being published in Italy she can only hope that nobody is murdered in Florence when she has important things to do - nowadays journalists flock to her after every murder to find out the solution to the crime.
