Capri Diem: Love and Death on Capri

By Cecilia Ulla Storhaug

CAPRI - THE ISLAND OF DREAMS is the dramatic setting for the story of a brilliant, but philandering local hero who pursues justice, redemption and the miracle of love. -From the Norwegian author Cecilia Storhaug, a resident of Capri for thirty years, comes a captivating mystery novel filled with action, romance, and a cliff-hanging resolution. -CAPRI DIEM is illustrated with color images of paintings by UGO di MARTINO; a well-known artist from the Island of Capri. -At the height of the tourist season, Camilla, a free-spirited Norwegian widow with a residence on Capri, is found dead on the craggy limestone cliffs rising above the sea. San Francisco insurance investigator Max returns to his island roots with a mission to find evidence to confirm Camilla's death; her life insurance policy has a non-payment clause for suicide. The beneficiary of the two-million-dollar claim is Camilla's beautiful younger sister Katarina, who is visiting her sister on the island. With a financial motive and no alibi, Katarina becomes the prime suspect in this page-turning drama. -As the plot unfolds, readers get an insider's tour of the spectacular scenery, ancient historic sites, and the glamorous playground for the rich and famous; the artists and romantics who for centuries have been drawn to Capri's magnificent scenery and the gentle hospitality of its people. -The title CAPRI DIEM, coined from the Latin aphorism Carpe Diem, reflects the philosophical theme of the book: "Live every day as if it was your last, in search of joy and beauty. When you find beauty, you desire to be part of it forever." -Cecilia's novel is inspired by her love for the island and people of Capri. Born and raised in Norway, the author divides her time between Norway, California, and Capri, where she has owned a home for over 30 years. The author promotes the ART, CULTURE, and NATURE on CAPRI on her website: WWW.CAPRIDIEM.NET
