Publisher's Synopsis
Former NYPD homicide detective Nico Doyle is just looking for space to grieve when he finds himself pulled into a local murder investigation in Chianti, Italy. Mourning the loss of his wife, Rita, Nico moves to her hometown of Gravigna in the wine-soaked region. He isn't sure if it's peace he's seeking, but it isn't what he finds. Early one morning, he hears a gunshot near his cabin and walks out to discover a dead body in the woods, flashily dressed in gold tennis shoes. A small white dog at the scene won't leave Nico alone, so he lies to the police and claims to be its owner. Salvatore Perillo, the local maresciallo, enlists Nico's help with the murder case.
