Based upon actual episodes from US Army Intelligence, the author's historical novels are authentic pictures of the world at war -- hazard, suspense, intrigue, and espionage, a world in the midst of death, where murder is common, yet with a few like Lt. Peter Toscanini, unafraid while exhibiting unbelievable courage. Volume 5 of the miniseries in tentatively entitled, Rome Nocturne 1945 -- At War With the Nazi Gestapo, Mussolini Fascist Killers, the Camora, and Sicilian and New York Mafias.If you've enjoyed the first three historical novels of Lieutenant Peter Albioni Toscanini, USN, Medical Special Assignments, on his perilous missions, all fraught with extreme danger, tracking down American solider serial killers murdering their own fellow-troops, based upon true World War II incidents, you'll appreciate Volume 4, Sicilian Nocturne, 1944 -- Fighting the Nazis With Bandit Salvatore Giuliano and His Partisans.An authentic, blue-blood relation to Arturo Toscanini, the world-renowned Italian maestro of classical music, Peter, in Volume 4, after dealing a death blow to the Mafia in Monterey, California, is temporarily reassigned, because of his ancestry, to the staff of General Mark Clark, Commander of America's Fifth Army, for the Sicilian and Italian campaigns. The lieutenant's first assignment is to befriend and recruit Sicily's handsome 25 year old Robin Hood, or King of Italy's Bandits, a ruthless killer, kidnapper, artist-poet, and wanna-be politician, at his mountain stronghold atop the island's western mountains overlooking Palermo. Successfully accomplished, Lt. Toscanini's second task is to secretly seek out and meet Field Marshall Albert Kesselring in La Spezia to negotiate the surrender of all German and Italian forces to the Allies.Sicilian Nocturne is author Don DeNevi's engaging, fast-paced fourth book of his promised seven volume series which begins, Volume One, on Pavuvu Island off Guadalcanal in the Solomon Sea in the summer of 1944, then, Volume 2, sends him to Camp Elliot in eastern San DIego, and, in Volume 3, a two week furlough at the US Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, where he encounters assassins from the New York and Boston mobs, before his overseas loan, in Volume 4, to the Fifth Army converging on Sicily and Lower Italy.
