Auntie Poldi and the handsome Antonio / [large print] Mario Giordano ; translated by John Brownjohn.

Giordano, Mario, 1963- (author., Author). Brownjohn, John. (translator.).

Summary:

"All the beloved, irascible Auntie Poldi wanted from her Sicilian retirement was time to enjoy the sunshine, a free-flowing supply of wine, and a sultry romance with Chief Inspector Vito Montana. But then her idyll is rudely disrupted by the last person she wants to see on her doorstep: John Owenya, detective inspector with the Tanzanian Ministry of Home Affairs, who is also her estranged lying cheat of a husband. Not only is John's sudden reappearance putting a kink in Poldi's dreamy love affair with Montana, but his presence also comes with a plea for help - and unwanted clashes with the Mafia"-- Provided by publisher.
