{"product_id":"the-monster-of-florence","title":"The Monster of Florence","description":"\u003cp\u003eRead the true story that inspired the hit Netflix series​!  In the nonfiction tradition of John Berendt and Erik Larson, the author of the #1  NYT  bestseller  The Lost City of the Monkey God  presents a gripping account of crime and punishment in the lush hills surrounding Florence as he seeks to uncover one of the most infamous figures in Italian history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2000, Douglas Preston fulfilled a dream to move his family to Italy. Then he discovered that the olive grove in front of their 14th century farmhouse had been the scene of the most infamous double-murders in Italian history, committed by a serial killer known as the Monster of Florence. Preston, intrigued, meets Italian investigative journalist Mario Spezi to learn more. This is the true story of their search for--and identification of--the man they believe committed the crimes, and their chilling interview with him. And then, in a strange twist of fate, Preston and Spezi themselves become targets of the police investigation. Preston has his phone tapped, is interrogated, and told to leave the country. Spezi fares worse: he is thrown into Italy's grim Capanne prison, accused of being the Monster of Florence himself. Like one of Preston's thrillers,  The Monster of Florence , tells a remarkable and harrowing story involving murder, mutilation, and suicide-and at the center of it, Preston and Spezi, caught in a bizarre prosecutorial vendetta.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":53058653028639,"sku":"A8901","price":7.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0546\/5119\/files\/81HPbHcW6KL._SX1500.jpg?v=1792837262","url":"https:\/\/lumobook.store\/products\/the-monster-of-florence","provider":"LumoBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
