Las pistas conducen a una misteriosa Orden que actúa clandestinamente contra la Iglesia desde hace siglos.

Será el último Papa que ocupará el trono de Pedro. ¿Es inminente el Apocalipsis? Y si es así, ¿qué significará? ¿El cumplimento de un viejo sueño de la humanidad o el fin del mundo? -- p.

There's only one Auntie Poldi: bewigged, cursing in Bavarian, and knocking back a wee shot of grappa as a pre-breakfast aperitif ... or is there? No one is as they seem (and sound) in this hilarious new mystery featuring Sicily's sultriest sleuth.

Sicily's most glamorous gumshoe Auntie Poldi (';Long may she reign.'*) just can't enjoy a honeymoon period in peaceenter one ex-husband, a mysterious moniker, and a prize the Mafia would kill for. * Kirkus Reviews , starred review

"When prosecco-loving Auntie Poldi retired to Sicily from Germany, she never dreamt her tranquil days would be interrupted by murder. But Sicily had other plans, and Poldi found herself honor-bound to solve the disappearance of her beloved (and cute) handyman. Now, she's finally ready for some peace and quiet--interrupted by romantic encounters with handsome Chief Inspector Montana, of course--when the water supply to her neighborhood is cut off and a dear friend's dog is poisoned, tell-tale signs that a certain familial organization is flexing their muscle. Poldi knows there will be no resolution without her help. She soon finds a body in a vineyard, tangles with the Mafia, and yet again makes herself unpopular in the pursuit of justice. But once wine and murder mix, how could she possibly stay away? A sexy and thrilling follow up to Giordano's debut novel, Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions, hailed by Adriana Trigiani as 'an explosion of color [and] a celebration of the palatte of Italian life and the Silian experience in its specificity, warmth and drama'"-- Provided by publisher

Recently widowed Poldi moves to Sicily in order to quietly drink herself to death with a sea view. But fate intervenes. When she finds the corpse of a young man on the beach, his face blown off with a sawn-off shotgun, she becomes a potential suspect in his murder case. Poldi soon falls for the gorgeous Commissario Montana who has been assigned to lead the case and, after some initial misunderstandings, they form an investigative - and romantic - partnership. Warm, witty and delightful, Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions delivers a lovable protagonist in a vivid setting.

Ein unbeliebter Unternehmer verschwindet, und auf der Isola Bella vor Taormina wird die Leiche einer jungen Norwegerin angespült. Für die Poldi steht fest: Es war Mord, und beide Fälle hängen zusammen. Und bei einer Leiche bleibt es diesmal nicht ...
