Description
A Dead Man in Naples by Michael Pearce is set against the vibrant backdrop of Naples, Italy in 1913. A minor British consular official, Scampion, arrives in the city after being banished from Florence due to his involvement with the famous Italian poet and Nationalist, D'Annunzio. Scampion brings a new craze to Naples - bicycling - which becomes embroiled in his murder. The victim's unusual circumstances - no wallet was taken - suggest that his death may be linked to more than just a street fight. As the Foreign Office investigates, they uncover a web of secrets and passions that run high in Naples. The city's powerful secret society, the Camorra, is also at play, adding an air of complexity to the case. A Dead Man in Naples is a gripping historical mystery that explores the intricate world of early 20th-century Italy. With its atmospheric design and detailed description, this book will transport you to a fascinating era of politics, culture, and crime.
