Murder is intriguing...

Spring, 1929. Europe teeters on the brink of change, and Italy thrums under Mussolini’s iron hand. Hoping for a holiday of sunlit waters and elegant soirées, Ginger and Basil Reed accept an invitation to a grand villa on Lake Como. But amid gondola rides, masked balls, and champagne under the cypress trees, tragedy strikes—a distinguished count is found drowned near the boathouse. The authorities are quick to call it an accident, but Ginger suspects otherwise. As she delves into a glittering world of Italian nobility, feuding artists, and political intrigue, Ginger uncovers a tangle of secrets that reach far beyond jealousy or betrayal. The closer she comes to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes—especially in a land where questions can draw the wrong kind of attention. In a country shadowed by Fascism, Ginger must unmask a killer before another guest pays the price.
