Curzio an investigator in Valdera

: Books

Year: 2017

Pages: 240

An ordinary man, with a keen and innate flair for the investigation, improvising himself as an investigator, will be able to shed light on a murder case involving the son of a close friend.

The uproar aroused by the success for being able to unveil the mystery will later bring him other "customers". Six complicated investigations will push Curzio to investigate in the wonderful Valdera area.
