Synopsis

There’s no place like Rome…unless you discover a murder.

Despite being stressed by holiday activities, Pity must find time to time to enter a jingle-writing contest promoting a new Italian sports car from Greco Motors. After all, the prize is a trip to Rome, Italy!

Pity is gobsmacked when her silly jingle wins. Once she and her sister arrive in the ancient city, they see incredible sights, taste new foods, and get to stay in a real Italian villa. They meet interesting people; some sweet, some scary, and one who is an Italian superstar. In typical Pity fashion, she manages to embarrass herself every step of the way.
When members of the famous Greco dynasty die or are injured, Pity suspects foul play and must solve the Italian mystery herself. It is not an easy task for the impetuous American since she is lost in translation. She also manages to irritate the Italian police, and her hasty decisions threaten to cause more harm than good. Unfortunately, Pity finds herself on one wild and dangerous ride after another.
Will Italy survive Pity’s visit? And will she ever make it home to Oklahoma?
Take a wild ride with Pity when she wins a trip to Rome in a jingle-writing contest promoting a new Italian sports car Motors.

Between language confusion and her typical impulsive behavior, Pity and her sister find themselves in crazy situations - Italian style.
But once she gets involved in solving the mystery, will Pity ever make it back home to Oklahoma?
