Magus of Sicily, The
Discover the first mystery in your new favourite crime series set on Italy''s most beautiful island: Sicily. A gripping and atmospheric page-turner, perfect for fans of Andrea Camilleri''s Inspector Montalbano series.
------------
An island of myth, legend . . . and murder?
As the summer sun beats down on the ancient town of Acitrezza, a folk festival plays out in the picturesque harbour. Music, laughter and the aroma of local delicacies fill the air, and a traditional pantomime draws a crowd.
For rookie journalist Nedda Leonardi, it''s just another day''s reporting in a calendar of unremarkable events. Until that is, the performers dive in the sparkling Ionian Sea for their finale... and emerge with a corpse. Could this be Nedda''s big break?
After one trick too many, Calogero Maugeri, self-styled Magus and con artist, is a wanted man. But his attempts to clean up his act and keep a low profile are thwarted when it''s revealed he has a suspicious connection to the dead man pulled from the sea.
A young reporter keen for a scoop and a reformed swindler desperate to clear his name... can this improbable pair solve the most unusual of murders?
