For fans of Daniel Silva and David Baldacci comes a gripping thriller
based on real world events that will have you riveted until the final
page is turned. When NYPD detectives Paul Rossi and Hamilton P. Turner
begin investigating the Sutton Place murder of an Italian air force
pilot, the last thing they expect is that they will and find themselves
sucked into the potential cover-up of the Ustica massacre, the most
horrific aviation crime in Italian history, in which all 81 souls on
board perished, where Italian President Francesco Cossiga blamed a
missile deployed by the French Navy for the disaster. But as they begin
investigating, Rossi, recovering from a broken marriage, and Turner, an
African-American opera buff, poet, and former lawyer with ambitions to
be mayor, come up against NYPD bureaucratic obstacles and stonewalling
by the Italian Consulate in NYC. Lieutenant Laura Muro, the policewoman
sister of the victim, comes to New York to aid the investigation, but
soon the trio find themselves in the crosshairs of the Gladio, Italy's
powerful, shadowy political cabal whose reach extends to the highest
reaches of New York political and ruling class. From New York to Italy,
Rossi, Turner, and Muro must uncover the shocking truth about one of the
most notorious disasters in airline history, and how this infamous act
ties to the present-day murder. Riveting, erudite, and surprising at
every turn, THE MAN IN MILAN announces a major new voice in
international thriller fiction.
