Shadows of Darkness

The background to this mystery thriller and romance drama is the idyllic town of Sanremo on the Italian Riviera. Not the place to expect to find murder, corruption and political intrigue. Or so Nico Moretti, an attorney, thought when he moved there from the Big City in search of a more peaceful life.
But overnight, he and his intrepid, bodacious girlfriend, Susanna, become the chief suspects in a case of double murder. Faced with the seemingly arbitrary acts of the police and justice authorities, they need to have their wits about them as they attempt to prove their innocence. But the deeper he and Susanna get involved in tracing the true culprits, the more they are subjected to shadowy, psychological terror from mysterious political quarters. With their backs to the wall, there is only one way out. But, to Nico, it seems they are jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Susanna, though, is willing to take the chance.
