Where the Lemon Trees Burn

By Luca Morello

Sicily, 1988. A young police officer-the son of fishermen-and the daughter of a powerful Cosa Nostra boss meet by chance in a Palermo bookstore. They do not yet know that this moment will change their lives forever.

*Where the Lemon Trees Burn* tells the story of a forbidden romance between Turi Bellofiore, a State Police officer, and Serena Riillo, a literature teacher and heir to a criminal empire she herself despises. For four years, they love each other in secret-amidst stolen afternoons and coded phone calls-while Palermo transforms into a silent battlefield around them: the Maxi Trial, the final verdicts, and the vengeance of an organization that refuses to accept defeat.
