It’s 1968 and Inspector Alleyn is in Rome assisting the Italian police in the investigation of an international drug-smuggling operation. The book references both la dolce vita and student protests, bringing Marsh into the 1960s, yet the murder Alleyn solves, committed within a closed group of tourists, is firmly rooted in tradition.
