Title: The Monster of Florence Author: Douglas Preston, Mario Spezi Narrator: Dennis Boutsikaris Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 06-17-08 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 736 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: All that changed when he discovered that the lovely olive grove in front of their house had been the scene of the most infamous double-murders in Italian history, committed by a serial killer known only as the Monster of Florence. Preston, intrigued, joined up with the crack Italian investigative journalist Mario Spezi to solve the case. The Monster of Florence tells the true story of their search for - and identification of - a likely suspect, and their chilling interview with that man. Then, in a strange twist of fate, Preston and Spezi themselves became targets of the police investigation into the murders. Preston had his phone tapped and was interrogated by the police, accused of perjury, planting false evidence and being an accessory to murder - and told to leave the country. Spezi fared worse: he was thrown into Italy's grim Capanne prison, accused of being the Monster of Florence himself. The Monster of Florence, which reads like one of Preston's thrillers, tells a remarkable and harrowing story involving murder, mutilation, suicide, carnival trials, voyeurism, princes and palaces, body parts sent by post, séances, devil worship and Satanic sects, poisonings and exhumations, Florentine high fashion houses, and drunken peasants. And at the center of it are Preston and Spezi, caught in the crossfire of a bizarre prosecutorial vendetta.
