Taverna in Terrazzo — Millie J. Ragosta
Hidden treasure . . . in a room of death!
Virginia Bonetti felt her heart leap when she recalled the tall, handsome stranger who pressed himself upon her at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport. But she also harbored suspicions. Did he know that she would be arriving from America to inherit a family fortune? Or that she was planning to move into the centuries old deserted inn (taverna) at her charming ancestral village of Terrazzo?
Other suspicions raced through her mind as she examined the taverna's empty rooms. There were tales whispered among the fillagers of stolen treasure hidden by the Nazis, of a German officer who may have been murdered by her grandmother . . . and a hidden chamber whose secrets reach back to the bloody age of Italy's fabled Borgia family!
