Perfect for you if...

You enjoy atmospheric European settings mixed with high-stakes mystery and don't mind a protagonist questioning her own grip on reality.
You love thrillers that layer in historical intrigue alongside modern danger, where past and present collide in unexpected ways.
You appreciate Scottoline's ability to balance page-turning plot twists with character depth, especially stories about grief and survival.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward plots without psychological ambiguity or unreliable narrator elements.
You're looking for cosy mysteries or gentle reads. This gets dark and violent quickly.
You want a romance to anchor the story. The Florentine love interest exists but takes a back seat to the conspiracy.

About this book

Julia Pritzker witnesses her husband's murder during a mugging in Philadelphia. While grieving, she receives unexpected news from Italy: she has inherited a fortune, a Tuscan villa, and a vineyard from a stranger named Emilia Rossi. Traveling to Tuscany for answers, Julia discovers that Rossi believed herself to be a descendant of Caterina Sforza, a Renaissance duchess. Julia notices an uncanny resemblance between herself, Caterina, and Rossi, and begins uncovering eerie parallels and disturbing secrets connecting them. As Julia investigates further, she suspects she is being followed and experiences her own disorienting delusions. A romantic encounter with a Florentine does little to ease her unease. Events turn deadly, and Julia finds herself struggling for both sanity and survival in a harrowing situation.
