Walter Veltroni
Buonvino tra amore e morte (Buonvino between Love and Death)
Marsilio, a novel, March 2023, 224 pages

The fourth installment in the successful series of Commissioner Buonvino and the discombobulated “magnificent seven in reverse” of the Villa Borghese police station.

After the attempt on his wife’s life on the very day of her wedding, commissioner Buonvino, torn by grief, investigates together with his men to find out whether, by striking Veronica, the unknown criminals wanted to send a signal to him or whether, instead, there is something hidden in his wife’s life that justifies such a heinous revenge. Meanwhile, the body of a man riddled with bullets fired from several rifles is found in Piazza di Siena: digging into the victim’s past, Buonvino will trace his steps back to the murky, intrigue-poisoned climate of 1944 Rome.
