Description
A Season for the Dead is the first in the acclaimed Nic Costa series.
"No author has ever brought Rome so alive for me - nor made it seem so sinister" - Peter James
"David Hewson's Rome is dark and tantalising, seductive and dangerous, a place where present-day crimes ring with the echoes of history" - Tess Gerritsen
"Hewson keeps the reader guessing... relentlessly tightening the suspense until the end" - Daily Telegraph
There's no rest for the wicked...
While Rome is sweltering in the height of summer, a serial killer is on the loose. Sara Farnese is working in the Vatican library when a man bursts in, intent on showing her the contents of his bloodied bag, until a guard shoots him. But why was the man targeting Sara?
Determined to find answers, Sara's path crosses with the young, up-and-coming Roman detective, Nic Costa. He's determined to track down the dangerous killer behind this bizarre and brutal murder and to protect Sara from becoming the next victim...
