1539: A religious serial killer is haunting Florence and only Cesare Aldo can stop them.
A Divine Fury
What you need to know before your trail
Cesare Aldo was once an officer for the city’s most feared criminal court. Following a period of exile, he is back – but demoted to night patrol, when only the drunk and the dangerous roam the streets.
Chasing a suspect in the rain, Aldo discovers a horrifying scene beneath Michelangelo’s statue of David. Lifeless eyes gaze from the face of a man whose body has been posed as if crucified. It’s clear the killer had religious motives.
When more bodies appear, Aldo believes an unholy murderer is stalking the citizens of Florence. Watching. Hunting. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike again . . .

Florence
Oh what a set is set at the very start!
The crime scene is Michelangelo’s statue of David, at the base of which lies a corpse, posed as if crucified.
The statue did originally stand in Palazzo della Signoria, but was moved in a crate which is itself now stored in the Museo di Casa Buonarroti, the house-museum in Florence’s Via Ghibellina where Michelangelo lived.
