Auntie Poldi and the handsome Antonio [large print] / Mario Giordano ; translated by John Brownjohn.

Giordano, Mario, 1963- (author.). Brownjohn, John, (translator.).

Summary:

All Auntie Poldi wanted from her Sicilian retirement was time to enjoy the sunshine, a free-flowing supply of wine, and a romance with Chief Inspector Vito Montana. But then her idyll is rudely disrupted by the last person she wants to see on her doorstep--her estranged lying cheat of a husband, John Owenya. Not only is his sudden reappearance putting a kink in her love affair with Montana, but his presence also comes with a plea for help locating his missing half-brother--and clashes with the Mafia.
