Coles THE THREE GODDEDDES: A Sicilian Crime Thriller Featuring Commissioner Alice Scuderi at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In the heart of Catania, an abandoned palazzo hides a secret that has survived for generations.
When architect Bianca Reitano is found dead in the courtyard of Palazzo Anzalone, the scene appears to tell a simple story: a tragic fall from a dangerous gallery. But Commissario Alice Scuderi quickly notices what does not fit. The bruises on Bianca’s hands. The strange position of her body. The missing notebook. And, beneath her fingernails, traces of ancient blue pigment from a fresco.
Bianca had been one of three finalists competing for a prestigious thirty-year concession to restore and manage the palazzo. The three women were jokingly known as “the three goddesses” —but the competition was anything but a game.
Above the crime scene, an eighteenth-century fresco depicts the Judgement of Paris : three goddesses, one golden apple, and a choice that will ultimately lead to war. When Alice discovers that the apple may not be merely a symbol, she begins to uncover a conspiracy involving corrupt tenders, old debts, powerful families, hidden identities, and a mysterious archive concealed behind the walls of the palazzo.
The deeper she investigates, the more she realizes that Bianca did not die because she was simply a rival.
She had discovered something that was never meant to be found.
And the paintings on the walls may hold the instructions to uncover it.
As Alice Scuderi follows a trail stretching from modern Catania back through generations of secrets, she must determine who was willing to kill to protect the past—and who is still powerful enough to control the future.
The Three Goddesses is a gripping Italian mystery featuring a historic Sicilian setting, an atmospheric investigation, ancient secrets, corruption, art, and a murder that reaches far beyond the crime scene.
The fifth novel in the Commissario Scuderi Series.
The truth has been hidden for generations.
Now someone is finally measuring the walls.
