It is with tremendous sorrow that I report the death of Mario Spezi, my writing partner for The Monster of Florence, who was a dear friend and colleague. Mario passed away on September 9, 2016, after a long illness.
Mario and I at the site of the double-homicide in Vicchio, Italy, where the Monster murdered a young couple, Pia Rotini and Claudio Stefanacci, who were making love in a parked car. Mario is explaining to me the forensic reconstruction of the crime.
