About the book
Artist-turned-amateur sleuth Nick Morris is back, and this time he’s swapped the English countryside for beautiful Italy. Only it’s not long before another dead body (or two) lands in front of him! This witty mystery is perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz.
Renowned artist Nick Morris finds himself in the beautiful city of Piacenza, Italy to lead an art retreat. Despite the picturesque surroundings, Nick is faced with a group of dramatic and troublesome budding artists. From heartbreak to illness and plain old grumpiness, Nick has his hands full. To make matters worse, infamous author Gregory Stone is causing chaos with his abrasive attitude.
However, things take a dark turn when Nick discovers Stone dead in his hotel room. Reluctant to get involved in yet another mystery, Nick can't help but question if Stone's behavior towards others led to his demise. With the help of Stone's charming publicist, Nick starts to uncover secrets that may have triggered the deadly outcome.
As the investigation unfolds, the list of suspects grows longer. Nick finds himself dealing with not only the aftermath of a murder, but also a second unexpected death among his students. Can Nick solve the mystery before he becomes the killer's next target?
Nick Morris's sharp eye for detail leads readers on a thrilling journey through the lives of potential suspects. With a touch of Michael Jecks's humor, fans of The Art of Murder Series will delight in this newest installment.
