The victim is a fellow police officer, and it seems the letter writer is too...In the picturesque coastal resort of Koper, the sun shines, the sea glitters and the delicacies are delicious. But Petra quickly discovers that beneath even the most scenic of settings, there lurk blackmail, corruption, family feuds... and murder. Asking difficult questions in her bid to uncover the truth behind In pektor Furlan's death, Petra feels a community, and her colleagues, turning against her. She's determined to see justice done, but will this close-to-home case launch her promising career... or break it?---------- An astonishing debut from an exciting new voice in the world of crime fiction, Death in the Adriatic is a clever, twisty tale perfect for fans of Donna Leon, Philip Gwynne Jones and the Inspector Montalbano mysteries.Georgina Stewart studied History at the University of Cambridge, specialising in medieval Europe.
