Banker's Death Beate Boeker

Valentino, Carlina's cousin and a banker, is hands-down the most unpopular member of the wide-spread Mantoni clan. However, a true Mantoni never accepts an intolerable situation, so one evening, they sit down to plot his death. When Valentino is indeed found stabbed, commissario Stefano Garini, now officially Carlina's boyfriend, only wants to turn and run. While he tries to sort through the clues and his feelings with grim determination, the family, in inimitable Mantoni style, manages to make things more complicated all the time. And then Stefano realizes that even Carlina doesn't tell him the full truth. Is their relationship doomed before it can really begin? And will Carlina manage to save the man she loves from a ruthless murderer? Banker's Death is the third in the cozy mystery series Temptation in Florence.
