Falling in Love

In the first novel in the Commissario Brunetti series, readers were introduced to one of Italy's finest living sopranos, Flavia Petrelli - then a suspect in the poisoning of a renowned German conductor. Now, many years after Brunetti cleared her name, Flavia has returned to sing the lead in Tosca.

As an opera superstar, Flavia is well acquainted with attention from adoring fans. But when one anonymous admirer inundates her with bouquets of yellow roses, it becomes clear that this fan has become a potentially dangerous stalker.

Distraught, Flavia turns to an old friend for help. Familiar with Flavia's melodramatic temperament, Commissario Brunetti is at first unperturbed by her story, but when another young opera singer is attacked he begins to think Flavia's fears may be justified.
