The sacred cut
(Book)

For the first time in decades Rome is paralyzed by a blizzard, and a gruesome discovery is made in the Pantheon, one of the City's most ancient and revered architectural treasures. Covered by softly falling snow is the body of a young woman--her back horribly mutilated. But before Nic Costa and Gianni Peroni of the Questura can begin a formal investigation, the US Embassy has brought in its own people, FBI agents who want the case closed down as quickly and discreetly as possible.
