BOOK DESCRIPTION:
As a young guide for Sunshine Tours, Armino Fabbio leads
a pleasant, if humdrum life -- until he becomes circumstantially involved in
the murder of an old peasant woman in Rome. The woman, he gradually comes to
realize, was his family's beloved servant many years ago, in his native town
of Ruffano. He returns to his birthplace, and once there, finds it is
haunted by the phantom of his brother, Aldo, shot down in flames in '43.
Over five hundred years before, the sinister Duke Claudio, known as The
Falcon, lived his twisted, brutal life, preying on the people of Ruffano.
But now it is the twentieth century, and the town seems to have forgotten
its violent history. But have things really changed? The parallels between
the past and present become ever more evident.
About Daphne Du Maurier: In many ways the life of Daphne du Maurier
resembles that of a fairy tale. Born into a family with a rich artistic and
historical background, the daughter of a famous actor manager, she was
indulged as a child and grew up enjoying enormous freedom from financial and
parental restraint. She spent her youth sailing boats, traveling on the
Continent with friends, and writing stories. A prestigious publishing house
accepted her first novel when she was in her early twenties, and its
publication brought her not only fame but the attentions of a handsome
soldier, Major (later Lieutenant General Sir) Frederick Browning, who
married her.
