Lucy Stark -- clever, pragmatic, capable -- is the assistant to a bestselling but remarkably untalented writer named DV, who has spent the last several months in Tuscany searching for inspiration. One morning in Brooklyn, as Lucy sits ast her desk reluctantly reading the first half of DV's latest novel, she receives a startling phone call: DV is dead, and the circumstances are suspicious. Soon Lucy finds herself in Italy, where her search for the rest of DV's manuscript lead her into the thick of various mysteries. Was DV murdered, or just the victim of his own stupidity? Was the ghost story he was writing pure fantasy, or did it hint at a darker reality? Is the devastating, married Massimo, who cares for Lucy in ways no one has before, as dangerously in love with her as she is with him? Part msystery, part romance, part meditation on the maddening but redemptive power of art, "Italian Fever" is a supremely satisfying novel: a funny, insightful portrait of the American abroad, and an irristible exploration of our perpetual love affair with Italy.
