by Magdalen Nabb


From the publisher

The seventh Marshal Guarnaccia Investigation For the first time, Marshal Guarnaccia is assigned to be lead on a murder investigation. When the dismembered body of a beautiful woman turns out to be that of a transsexual prostitute, the marshal must leave his snug home near the Pitti Palace for the shadowy underworld of Florence's sex trade. Another transsexual is then arrested for the murder, but the marshal is convinced the Carabinieri have made a mistake. Can he find proof before the man he believes to be innocent is confined to life in prison?

Media reviews

Praise for The Marshal's Own Case

“ The lore and mystique of male transvestite lifestyles in Florence . . . The marshal takes the case that no one wants, a situation underscoring the novel’s theme of unloved and troubled children.”
Publishers Weekly

“Among the genre’s most appealing cops.”
Booklist

“Surpasses the best of Simenon.”
Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Magdalen Nabb


"It takes a writer as good as Magdalen Nabb to remind us how subtle the art of the mystery can be."
The New York Times

"The late Magdalen Nabb never wrote a bad book . . . She’s well worth discovering by a new generation of readers."
—The Globe and Mail

“It is so good to walk with [Magdalen Nabb] through the animated streets of Florence, with its carabinieri, its ordinary people, its little trattorie and even its noisy tourists. It's all so alive, you can hear the noises, smell the smells, see that morning mist on the fast flowing Arno . . . Bravissimo!”
—Georges Simenon

About the author

Magdalen Nabb was born in Lancashire and trained as a potter. In 1975, she left her old life behind and moved with her son to Florence, where she fell in love with the local setting. Her Marshal Guarnaccia series, which has been translated into ten languages, was inspired by a real local marshal she befriended in the tiny pottery town of Montelupo Fiorentino. Nabb wrote children's fiction and crime novels until her death in 2007.
