Small town local cop Jo Thibodeau has won a prize holiday to Italy, venturing away from Purity for her first holiday in... forever? But Jo soon loses patience with her whiny, annoying tour group, ditching them to embark on a one night stand with a gorgeous stranger. A few days later a tour boat sinks in Lake Maggiore, and several tourists are drowned. Jo's body is recovered from the lake.

Jo's friends Maggie and Declan accompany her devastated father and brother from Purity to Italy, to bring home her body. But when they view it in the morgue, they're stunned to find that the blonde woman on the autopsy table isn't Jo, but a nameless stranger.

IF JO ISN'T DEAD, WHERE IS SHE?

Thrilling, twisty and relentlessly gripping, The Italian Affair is Tess Gerritsen at her thriller-writing best. **AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW!**
