The white devil : femmes fatales, political intrigue and murder in the shadowy streets of Rome
Stansberry, Domenic2018
Book
Vittoria, as she's known in Italy, is a small-time model and actress, recognizable but hard to place. Even though she's married to fading writer Frank Paris, Vittoria knows that she's really Vicki Wilson from Texas and that her deepest loyalty is to her brother, Johnny, who's been there for her from childhood, when he dealt decisively with the unwanted attention she got from other boys. Guided by Johnny, Vittoria enters the upper circles of Roman society. Before long, she's mingling with the high rollers, corrupt senators, and powerful movers. Among them is Paolo Orsini, who quickly claims Vittoria. Too bad he's married; too bad his wife, an aging film icon, is murdered. Vittoria soon finds herself at the heart of a scandal, spiraling dangerously out of control.
