​When Sofi Francese heads to Italy to restore the family property, she never expects it to feature a dead relative. She runs to the nearest police station, but Cenzo Bot ignores her until he learns that the victim is also the town’s mayor. Together they follow leads, but the villagers only want to hear about Sofi’s wine cellar. Now that the renovations are complete, won’t she consider selling it to one of them?
Have your little summer Italian vacation now!
