Could one of the pious pilgrims be a cold-blooded killer? Or has one of the victim s many shady dealings finally caught up with him?For fans of Martin Walker and Donna Leon, BEST SERVED COLD takes readers on a delicious excursion through the Umbrian hills as Rick leads his tour–and the police investigation–to a killer conclusion.
