The Flood by David Hewson

A dazzling Italian mystery, rich in intrigue and dark secrets, from an internationally bestselling crime writer at the height of his powers. Florence, 1986. A seemingly inexplicable attack on a church fresco of Adam and Eve brings together an unlikely couple: Julia Wellbeloved, an English art student, and Pino Fratelli, a semi-retired detective who longs to be back in the field. Their investigation leads them to the secret society that underpins the city: an elite underworld of excess, violence and desire. Seeped in the culture of Tuscany's most mysterious city, The Flood takes the reader on a dazzling journey into the darkness in Florence's past: the night of the great flood in 1966 .

Former journalist David Hewson worked for The Times, The Sunday Times, and The Independent. He is the author of almost twenty-five novels, notably the Nic Costa series set in Rome, which has been translated into fifteen languages. He's also authored three critically lauded adaptations of The Killing, a Danish television series. He lives in Kent, near Canterbury.
