Rocky and Bernadette are off on a new adventure, working on a story for Let’s Travel Magazine, this time in Cremona Italy, the romantic home of Stradivarius.
It’s all linguini and vino until Rocky meets his old pal Hamish, a whistle-blowing journalist, and before he can ask what could be important enough to bring Hamish to this sleepy provincial town, our heroes find him dead in the piazza.
Rocky has family in Cremona, so he knows better than to interfere in a complex Italian police investigation. Particularly since his cousin Niccolo, an Inspector with the local police, is in charge of the investigation. But Rocky owes Hamish his life, so when Niccolo is taken off the case, Rocky and Bernadette have to step in. What could have brought his old friend have been investigating in this the violin capital of the world that forced him to go undercover and would, in the end, lead to murder?
