26 Oct. Rome's Anglo American Bookshop hosts a presentation of the book Seven Months of Unruly Sinners by Sienna Riddle on Saturday 26 October, from 18.00-19.30.

"It’s 1986 and rural Witherington’s dim-witted politicians are planning the annual community party, blissfully unaware of a clandestine mind-control programme and a far-reaching communist plot which could spark a second Cold War. A former ballerina dies under mysterious circumstances and gossipmongers believe her death and missing foot could be connected to her immoral, secretive past.

From the afterlife, recently deceased Constable Ernest Barnstable turns investigator when forced by the dead woman to defend her reputation and solve the crime. But his cantankerous investigation team is hampering progress and he needs to find a medium through which to report his findings to the Witherington police. His transition beyond the grave depends upon getting results but he’s taken on more than he can handle and pushed beyond his limits by perilous unexpected ordeals."

The Anglo American Bookshop is located on Via della Vite 102, near the Spanish Steps.
