The Arno River is rising in Florence, Italy. Into the the turbulent waters leaps an unlikely hero, who tries to save a drowning woman, only to find it is too late. He pays a high price for his bravery before Inspector Caterina Falcone gets involved. Was this an accidental death or something more sinister? Far above the river in a historic villa, forty Americans celebrate a wedding, only to have death served before the cake. This time Caterina knows that it was no accident. When another body is found under the Ponte Vecchio, Inspector Falcone enlists the help of Max Turner and Rafe Mathews, two American intelligence officers. She is determined to find out if the vengeful killings are part of a foreign plot or the tragic result of a Florentine vendetta. This is the third book of the Caterina Falcone Mystery Series.
