Publisher's Synopsis
Fulvia, a Mafia Princess, must be a dutiful daughter or the family will be dishonoured. She escapes and makes a new life in Canada, but then is betrayed and her husband murdered on the Sicilian coast. The police Chief investigating the case is Marisa, who confronts a station house of skeptical men as well as Fulvia's uncle, the boss of bosses. Interweaving folk tales, classical allusions, and recent Italian history with the conventions of the detective story, Caterina Edwards uses the literary noir to question the very possibility of justice and free will.
