One dead art collector and a gallery of suspects…this Tuscan vacation just turned deadly.

Translator Rick Montoya is looking forward to a quiet weekend away in beautiful Urbino with his girlfriend, Betta, an art fraud investigator for the Italian Culture Ministry. While Betta does have official business - namely, collecting a priceless Piero drawing from a wealthy Spanish collector - she asks Rick to join her ‘in case she needs an interpreter;’ but Betta and Rick begin their journey with less official intentions in mind…

When the Spaniard is found murdered and the drawing stolen, Betta must shift back into art-cop mode, and Rick’s official services are required after all. Will this lovers’ getaway literally be to die for?
