What is supposed to be a straightforward property deal turns into a nightmare for the English lawyer David and his partner Thomas. Precisely in the unspoilt countryside of northern Umbria, where the couple live, a group of international speculators want to invest in a grand-scale project to build a country club for millionaires. When shortly before the related contracts are to be signed the neighbouring sheep farmer is found murdered and soon after him the pet dog of the project developer, David and Thomas fear they, too, could be on the criminals death list. Then they own the house and land that the speculators desperately need for the project to go ahead.

Über Autor(innen)

Carl, Peter
Peter Carl, born. 1943, worked as a journalist for leading business magazines in Germany up till 1995 – the last ten years of which he spent as editor-in-chief of „Industriemagazin“ and “Top Business.“ He has since established himself as a freelance commentator of economic affairs and publisher of the German business newsletter “dossierB“.
For over 30 years now, Peter Carl has devoted most of his free time to his second home in a tiny village in Umbria, where he tends his olive grove, vineyard and orchard trees. The social changes that have taken place in this rural part of central Italy in the past few decades form the backdrop to this “whodunit.“
