A new crime novel set against the beautiful backdrop of
Sorrento is now available via the Amazon website.
Much of the action in the novel takes place in the ancient
streets in the centre of the resort and at locations out along the Sorrentine
peninsula.
The Shooting in Sorrento - written by Best of Sorrento editor Val Culley - is the second Butler and Bartorelli
mystery and is the sequel to Death in the High City, which was set in Bergamo
in Lombardy.
The main protagonist, journalist Kate Butler, is in Sorrento
with her partner, Steve Bartorelli, a retired Detective Chief Inspector, to
attend the wedding of the daughter of one of Steve’s Italian cousins.
The couple get to know an English family staying at their
hotel in Capo di Sorrento and when tragedy strikes them, Kate feels she
should try to help. She has already become friends with the mother of the family,
Janice, who is a woman of about her own age.
Steve is distracted by meeting up with Italian relatives he
has not seen since he was a child and is also wary of becoming too involved
with the family because two of his cousins are senior officers in the Polizia
di Stato.

But Kate is determined to get justice for her new English
friends and joins forces with another visitor to Sorrento to investigate, when
it seems the Italian police are focusing all their interest on the English
family.
Her enquiries cause her to wander the narrow streets that
run parallel to Corso Italia and take her down to the beach at Marina di
Puolo, but she ends up putting herself in danger when her sleuthing gets her
too close to the truth.
The Shooting in Sorrento is believed to be the first British
crime novel set in Sorrento and is available to buy in paperback or as a Kindle edition
from Amazon.
