Sydney, the present: journalist Nick Eatwell has just lost his job, but his day is brightened when a fellow reporter, South African Susan Vidler, comes into his life looking for help with a story. Susan is chasing information about Nick's great-great uncle, Cyril Blake, who fought in the Anglo-Boer War and later joined the struggle for independence across the border in the German colony of South West Africa, now Namibia. A long-lost manuscript proves Nick's forebear was a somewhat reluctant hero.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 39
Set in the turbulent years following the death of Lorenzo de' Medici, George Eliot's fourth novel, Romola, moves the stage from the English countryside of the 19th century to an Italy four centuries before her time. It tells the tale of a young Florentine woman, Romola de' Bardi, and her coming of age through her troubled marriage to the suave and self-absorbed Greek Tito. Slowly Tito's true character begins to unfurl, and his lies and treachery push Romola toward a more spiritual path, where she transcends into a majestic, Madonna-like role.

London, 1944. While the Luftwaffe makes its final assault on the already battered British capital, Londoners rush through the streets, seeking underground shelter in the midst of the city's blackout. When the panic subsides, other things begin to surface along with London's war-worn citizens. A severed arm is discovered by a group of children playing at an East End bomb site, and when Scotland Yard's Detective Sergeant Frederick Troy arrives at the scene, it becomes apparent that the dismembered body is not the work of a V-1 rocket.

Detective Superintendent Katie Maguire of the Irish Gardai is used to bloodshed, but these white bones speak of unimaginable butchery.

Publisher's Summary
Florence, October 1966. The rain is never-ending. When a young boy vanishes on his way home from school the police fear the worst, and Inspector Bordelli begins an increasingly desperate investigation.
Then the flood hits. During the night of 4th November the swollen River Arno, already lapping the arches of the Ponte Vecchio, breaks its banks and overwhelms the city. Streets become rushing torrents, the force of the water sweeping away cars and trees, doors, shutters and anything else in its wake.
In the aftermath of this unimaginable tragedy the mystery of the child's disappearance seems destined to go unsolved. But obstinate as ever, Bordelli is not prepared to give up.

Hard ending
The end is a cliff hanger. And this story involves the rape and murder of a child. There are lengthy passages of war flash backs and of a flood which do nothing to move the story forward.

I love Marco Vichi's books. But...
I have read all of Marco Vichi's books and love them all. I was very happy to find them on audible hoping for an extra depth of entertainment! My god who on earth though it would be a great idea to let them be read by an English man putting on regional (English & Irish) accents? They are Italian books and very good ones! Couldn't you have at least used an English speaking Italian to narrate. Totally ruined the book.

Ancora un caso per il commissario Bordelli, e questa volta è davvero una brutta faccenda. Siamo nell'aprile del '64, ma la primavera proprio non si decide ad arrivare. Firenze è coperta da un cielo grigio e umido, un cielo triste che non preannuncia niente di buono. Così come niente di buono preannuncia l'arrivo in commissariato di un ometto piccolo piccolo che, con l'aria allarmata, insiste per essere accompagnato da Bordelli. È Casimiro, il suo amico nano, che ha appena scoperto il cadavere di un uomo in un campo sopra Fiesole.

Firenze, ottobre 1966. Non fa che piovere. Un bambino scompare nel nulla e per lui si teme il peggio, forse un delitto atroce. Il commissario Bordelli indaga disperatamente, e durante le indagini arriva l’alluvione... La notte del 4 novembre l'Arno cresce, si ingrossa, va a lambire gli archi di Ponte Vecchio, supera gli argini e la città è travolta dalla furia delle acque. Le vie diventano torrenti impetuosi, la corrente trascina automobili, sfonda portoni e saracinesche, riversando nelle strade cadaveri di animali, alberi, mobili e detriti di ogni genere.

But Piras hasn't been recuperating for long before he, too, has a mysterious death to deal with....

Story4 out of 5 stars 9
Firenze, ottobre 1966. Non fa che piovere. Un bambino scompare nel nulla e per lui si teme il peggio, forse un delitto atroce. Il commissario Bordelli indaga disperatamente, e durante le indagini arriva l’alluvione... La notte del 4 novembre l'Arno cresce, si ingrossa, va a lambire gli archi di Ponte Vecchio, supera gli argini e la città è travolta dalla furia delle acque. Le vie diventano torrenti impetuosi, la corrente trascina automobili, sfonda portoni e saracinesche, riversando nelle strade cadaveri di animali, alberi, mobili e detriti di ogni genere.

The first audiobook which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos.Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate. Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his hands. But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man.

Frieda Klein is a solitary, incisive psychotherapist who spends her sleepless nights walking along the ancient rivers that have been forced underground in modern London. She believes that the world is a messy, uncontrollable place. The abduction of five-year-old Matthew Farraday provokes a national outcry and a desperate police hunt. And when his face is splashed over the newspapers, Frieda cannot ignore the coincidence: one of her patients has been having dreams in which he has a hunger for just such a child.

A severed arm is discovered by a group of children playing at an East End bomb site, and when Scotland Yard's Detective Sergeant Frederick Troy arrives at the scene, it becomes apparent that the dismembered body is not the work of a V-1 rocket.
