Description
Robert Broke runs a small gallery on the Via de Benci and is an authority on Etruscan terracotta. A man who keeps himself to himself, he is the last person to become mixed up in anything risky. But when two men arrive in Florence, Broke's world turns upside down as he becomes involved in a ring of spies, the mafiosi and fraud involving Etruscan antiques. When he finds himself in prison on a charge of manslaughter, the net appears to be closing in rapidly, and Broke must fight for his show more innocence and his life. show lessTags

Is the professor finding Etruscan artifacts or is he faking them? Why was Milo killed? He knew something. But now the one person who could have spotted the fraud, if there was one, is in jail, and his friends have to investigate to get him out. Very good with a strong setting.
Inventive and apparently well researched, "The Etruscan Net" must be very popular since it has been re-published so many times in so many editions.
Well, it's certainly popular with me.
It's another very well-done mystery by that master, Michael Gilbert.
I do recommend it.
