First Edotion, First Printing. 248 pages. Olivia, an American-born model, married Count Ugo Brunamonti, a feckless and soon impoverished aristocrat. After his death, she supported her children - Leonardo and Caterina - by starting a fashion house, which has prospered. When she is kidnapped, the crime is reported to Marshal Guarnaccia by her daughter, who may have been the intended victim. Kidnapping is almost a second business for the Sardinians nominally engaged in raising sheep in the Tuscan hills. They inhabit a vast wilderness where a victim can be hidden away forever, and where searching for her will be quickly spotted. The government's official policy is not to permit the payment of ransom. But if the money is not paid the kidnappers cannot let their victim go free. It would set a bad example.. D4C. Near Fine/Near Fine.
