HTML:<b>#1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline presents <i>Loyalty</i>, an emotional, action-packed epic of love and justice, set during the rise of the Mafia in Sicily.</b><br /> <br /> <i>Loyalty can save a soul—or destroy one.</i><br /> &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Franco Fiorvanti is a handsome lemon grower toiling on the estate of a baron. He dreams of owning his own grove, but the rigid class system of Sicily thwarts his ambition. Determined to secure a better future, Franco will do anything to prove his loyalty to the baron. But when the baron asks him to kidnap a little boy named Dante, Franco makes a decision that will change his life—and even the history of Sicily—forever.<br /> &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Gaetano Catalano is an idealistic young lawyer whose devotion to justice is tantamount to a calling. He’s a member of the <i>Beati Paoli</i>, a real-life secret society of aristocrats who investigate crime in Palermo, a city riddled with graft. Gaetano sets out to find the boy and punish the kidnapper, but his mission leads him to a darker place than he had ever imagined.<br /> &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Meanwhile, Mafalda Pancari is a new mother rejoicing at the birth of her daughter, Lucia, when disaster strikes. And Alfredo D’Antonio is a reclusive goatherd under constant threat of being discovered as a Jew. How the lives of these unforgettable characters collide makes <i>Loyalty</i> an epic tale of good versus evil, as the story twists and turns to its monumental showdown.<br /> &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Readers will be transported to the dramatic and ruggedly beautiful island of Sicily, the jewel of the Mediterranean, where lush lemon groves and mouth-watering cuisine contrast with a turbulent history of colonization and corruption. Scottoline brings her decades of thriller writing to historical fiction, creating in <i>Loyalty</i> a singular novel that no reader will be able to put down. Media Type: Audiobook.
