In 1595, François Cenci, a noble Roman, debauched, burdened with debts and tortured by jealousy, takes and sequesters his second wife Lucrezia and his daughter Beatrice in the Alban Hills. She languishes in her solitude and eventually succumbs to the handsome Olimpio Calvetti, the steward of the castle. The two lovers murder François Cenci.

"Against the rich, tumultuous background of the Renaissance, Mr. Prokosch unfolds a tale of horror and suspense, of crime and punishment overwhelming in its impact. It happened in the closing years of the sixteenth century, in a country and time when noble families were no strangers to profligacy and crime, to plotting and to murder. Yet even cynical, worldly Rome was profoundly shocked by the Cenci case." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile.
