About this ebook

Florence, 1966. The rain is never-ending. When a young boy vanishes on his way home from school the police fear the worst, and Inspector Bordelli begins an increasingly desperate investigation.Then the flood hits. During the night of November 4th, the swollen River Arno, already lapping the arches of the Ponte Vecchio, breaks its banks and overwhelms the city. Streets become rushing torrents, the force of the water sweeping away cars and trees, doors, shutters and anything else in its wake.In the aftermath of this unimaginable tragedy the mystery of the child's disappearance seems destined to go unsolved. But obstinate as ever, Bordelli is not prepared to give up.

    A bit too brutal for me. Smelly 56 year old male hot for 20 something woman not appealing at all. Interesting about Florence flood in 1966.

    Inspector Bordelli, 56 years old, loves women and always seems to lose them. But a chance encounter with a gorgeous 26 year old goddess has him in love again. In the meantime, he is investigating the death of a 13 year old boy, whose body was found in the woods. No clues, however.While walking the woods near where the body was found, he finds a paid telephone bill. Could it be a clue and if it is, it is the only one he has, so he must follow it.It is 1966 and the river Arno over flowed its banks and flooded the city of Florence, hampering his languishing investigation. Will he or won't he find the murderers?This is the first Inspector Bordelli novel I've read and it's not bad. I like the characters, Bordelli, his friend Rosa (the ex-prostitute), his partner Piras and the thief Botti. They make a nice cast of characters. While I may not reach out to find another in the series, I certainly wouldn't turn away from one if it came my way.
