A thriller writer and crime reporter try to unlock the secrets of decades-old real-life murders in MONSTER OF FLORENCE. Between 1974 and 1985, seven different couples were found slain in their cars just outside the city of Florence, Italy. When novelist Douglas Preston and reporter Mario Spezi decided to try to piece together what had really happened, they quickly found themselves in trouble, with Spezi landing himself in jail and Preston accused of obstructing justice. The book finally saw the light of day after Dateline NBC did a piece on the daring duo. Mystery buffs will likely find this true-crime tale a tantalizing, thoroughly engaging ride.
