Synopsis
Benvenuto a Santa Caterina - a picturesque village in the heart of Tuscany where the bells of the local Abbey ring loud and clear across the idyllic rolling green hillsides. But wait, it's noon in the Abbey of Santa Caterina - and Sister Isabella is puzzled by the silence - why are the bells not ringing? As Isabella ponders this mystery, she makes a horrific discovery: Sister Raffaella is lying lifeless in the cloister. At first glance, it seems as though the dead nun must have fallen from the belfry. But then what is the meaning of the number that was drawn in the dust by the body?Was this really an accident, as the Mother Superior is stonily insisting? Isabella doesn't believe so. Together with the young Carabiniere Matteo, Isabella begins an investigation of her own and soon uncovers a dark secret... now only divine intervention can help!Monastery, murder and dolce vita - a crime series like a holiday under the Italian sun.
