SERIES DEBUT
Ilaria Tuti introduces a brusque, battle-worn new heroine, Teresa Battaglia, in Flowers over the Inferno, her haunting debut novel. Teresa is called to investigate a vicious murder near a remote village in the Italian Alps, but even as it’s stalked by a savage predator who watches from the woods, the insular community staunchly guards the secrets that could bring the killer to justice.
“Ilaria Tuti’s Flowers over the Inferno is a stunning debut; a deliciously dark and action-packed thriller that is also deeply moving, even profound. With a heroine unlike any other and a beautifully crafted sense of place, Tuti’s gorgeous prose paints a compelling portrait of a small Alpine town’s secrets and the woman tasked with uncovering them. I loved this book.” —Karen Dionne, internationally bestselling author of The Marsh King’s Daughter
