Burnt Siena by Sarah Wisseman
A Flora Garibaldi, Art History Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Five Star
Price: $3.99 (as of 06/19/2015 at 5:30 PM ET).
In the magical and historically rich city of Siena, Italy, old paintings are as common as cobblestones. But what if some of those paintings are forgeries? And what if your employers at Restauro Lorenzetti, a respected firm of art conservators, might be smuggling antiquities?
After colleague and roommate Ernst Mann is found dead in the street below their apartment balcony, Flora Garibaldi suspects her bosses are crooks. The Italian police, after ruling Flora innocent of murder, persuade her to spy on her employers. Flora is trapped between the competing demands of the Lorenzettis: genial Beppe, sulky Pietro, and hunky and amorous Marco.
Flora thinks Marco is being used by his family to divert police attention and generate income by replicating Greek sculpture. Marco's latest work resembles a controversial, supposedly ancient sculpture purchased by a California museum. Will Marco's statue be sold as a legitimate, museum-grade copy, or as a Greek "masterpiece?"
Flora's emotional turmoil grows as she works to protect Marco, avenge Ernst, and fight her growing attraction to policeman Vittorio Bernini.
