HTML:<p><b>In the nonfiction tradition of John Berendt and Erik Larson, the author of the #1 <i>NYT</i> bestseller, <i>The Lost City of The Monkey King</i>, presents a gripping account of crime and punishment in the lush hills surrounding Florence, Italy as he seeks to uncover one of the most infamous figures in Italian history.</b></p> <p><br /> In 2000, Douglas Preston fulfilled a dream to move his family to Italy. Then he discovered that the olive grove in front of their 14th century farmhouse had been the scene of the most infamous double-murders in Italian history, committed by a serial killer known as the Monster of Florence. Preston , intrigued, meets Italian investigative journalist Mario Spezi to learn more.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>This is the true story of their search for—and identification of—the man they believe committed the crimes, and their chilling interview with him. And then, in a strange twist of fate, Preston and Spezi themselves become targets of the police investigation. Preston has his phone tapped, is interrogated, and told to leave the country. Spezi fares worse: he is thrown into Italy 's grim Capanne prison, accused of being the Monster of Florence himself.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Like one of Preston's thrillers, <i>The Monster of Florence</i>, tells a remarkable and harrowing story involving murder, mutilation, and suicide-and at the center of it, Preston and Spezi, caught in a bizarre prosecutorial vendetta.</p>.
