Perfect for you if...

You love procedural mysteries with a detective protagonist who actually feels like a real cop, not a superhero.
You're drawn to stories that split time between two very different settings (remote Italian lake town and Colorado Rockies) and use both to build tension.
You want a series starter that hooks you immediately without spending three chapters on setup.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalones or wrap things up neatly by book's end. This is book one of 19, and it ends on threads that pull into the next instalments.
You're looking for literary complexity or experimental narrative structure. This is straightforward, plot-driven crime fiction.
You need your protagonist to be morally uncomplicated. Wolf's personal struggles (addict ex-wife, volatility) are messy and persistent.

About this book

Deputy David Wolf works in a ski resort town in the Colorado Rockies, juggling a missing person investigation and complications from his addict ex-wife's return. His life is upended when he learns his brother has died while traveling in northern Italy. Convinced there is more to the story than officials are revealing, Wolf travels to Lecco, Italy, a city on Lake Como. Far from home and struggling with language barriers, he discovers a disturbing secret hidden in the ancient cobblestone streets—one that has already killed another foreigner. Working with a Carabinieri agent, Wolf attempts to uncover what actually happened to his brother while avoiding the same deadly fate. Foreign Deceit is the first book in the David Wolf Mystery Thriller Series.
