A mobster’s daughter is dead in paradise, and an Interpol genius hunts a billionaire killer.

Sofia Costa speaks ten languages, but at the legendary Hotel Miramare, deception is the native tongue. A former Interpol forensic linguist turned luxury security consultant, Sofia specializes in fixing problems for the ultra-wealthy before the police are even called. But when she is summoned to Italy's Amalfi Coast, she finds a crime scene that defies translation.

The setup is bizarre: priceless stolen heirlooms are mysteriously reappearing in guest suites, returned by a thief with a conscience. But the gesture is a trap. Just as the treasures drift back, the bodies start to fall—beginning with the daughter of a notorious crime lord found floating in the infinity pool.

Trapped on the cliffs with a guest list of billionaires, art collectors, and liars, Sofia realizes she is hunting a predator who treats the coastline as a game board. To stop the slaughter, she must decode a history of dark secrets and confront a killer who knows exactly who she is—and the one terrifying cold case she’s spent a lifetime running from.

Lush, lethal, and impossibly chic, Murder in an Italian Paradise is the pulse-pounding debut of the Sofia Costa series.
