Vendetta in a Vineyard
(2025)(The fifth book in the Vendetta: Alessandro Cenni Investigates series)
A novel by Grace Brophy
Alessandro Cenni has finally found peace—until the women in his past come calling.
Former Questore Alessandro Cenni, now a defense attorney, finds himself juggling more than one case with roots in the past—unresolved echoes from Vendetta inParadise and Vendetta in a Raincoat that refuse to stay buried.
On a trip to Venice for a client who was once a suspect in a murder case, Cenni finds Chiara, his lost love from his university days. And in Perugia, Francesca Baglioni—a previous flame and heir to one of Italy’s greatest wine dynasties, seeks legal advice, claiming her husband is trying to kill her, Cenni reluctantly agrees to help. Soon after, her husband is found murdered in his bed, and Francesca is the prime suspect. The name Baglioni, once feared in medieval Perugia, still carries the stigma of danger, bloodshed, and murder.
Torn between loyalty to his marriage and duty to the truth, Cenni must untangle cases that cross Italy’s elite circles, where the vines run deep and so do the lies.
In this final novel of the Alex Cenni series, nothing is what it first appears.
