Northern Italy is the cradle for a precious culinary gem: the white truffle of Piedmont. Worth more than gold, the truffle is sought after by chefs and foodies alike. But this year, the truffle hunters are in a panic as they discover that their usual harvest has been stolen from under their feet. Inexplicably, the bodies of murdered hunters turn up, but there are no truffles to be found. A young man from Tuscany, in tow with his aunt and her restaurant crew, pursue the thieves through the hills of Piedmont, and the delicious wine and food of Italy. Praise for HUNTING TRUFFLES: ""A seamless blend of engaging mystery, insider travelogue, a primer in Italian traditions, and a guide to Italian food and viticulture in a narrative style that is easy and compelling." - Ambassador Magazine "After reading both of Dick Rosano's books, I feel like I have made two trips to the Italian Republic... Thankfully, no weight was gained while reading this book." - R. Hegner, Amazon review
