Death of an Englishman

---

"Death of an Englishman" is a sophisticated detective mystery set in the atmospheric city of Florence, Italy, adapted for upper-intermediate English language learners. The story begins on a cold December morning when a quiet Englishman is found shot dead in his apartment. Marshal Guarnaccia of the Italian Carabinieri is assigned to the case, leading him through the narrow, historic streets of Florence as he searches for a motive among a cast of suspicious neighbors and distant relatives. As the investigation unfolds, the Marshal must look beyond the surface of a seemingly simple life to uncover a complex web of secrets. This Stage 4 reader introduces students to the "police procedural" genre, emphasizing logical deduction and cultural nuances while expanding their command of advanced narrative English.
