Murder on the Isle of Capri, Italy — Thomas Donahue; Karen Donahue

Murder on the Isle of Capri

The Donahues deliver a mystery/thriller that will keep you on the edge of your cozy reading chair:

An Italian friend and colleague of Criminology Professor Marin Ryan dies in an accidental fall from a ladder. The community in Genoa is devastated by the tragic end of a beloved father, grandfather, and loving husband. Marin and John Hunter are equally in sorrow as they walk down the street in the classic Italian burial procession. The wife asks Marin to finish a project her husband had been working on for their grandson -- a historical book on sixteenth-century pirates. Honored, she agrees.

Marin and John review the documents and her friend's notes to discover his disturbing connection between those historical pirates and three present-day wealthy families. It's a secret the patriarchs kill to keep. Was their friend's death an accident? No!

They journey across the Atlantic and the Pacific in an attempt to know the truth. The more they find, the more they are at risk. At each stop, from Italy to New York to Hawaii and back, they are the in the sights of the modern pirates.
