READING TIP: If you want to relax with exciting reading during your vacation at Lake Orta, we recommend the two Piedmont crime novels "Lago Mortale" and "Isola Mortale" by Giulia Conti:
* "In the midst of the shimmering August heat, former police reporter Simon Strasser dreams of nothing more than a refreshing swim in Lake Orta and a rain shower. But then he discovers the body of an influential factory owner's son on an abandoned yacht. Simon's old instincts are awakened, but everyone on this tranquil lake seems to have a secret - which must be kept at all costs." (Back cover of "Lago Mortale")
* "After a stormy December night, the body of a woman is washed up on the shore of Lake Orta. The dead woman is a young, extremely pretty nun who had recently come to Isola San Giulio to look for her missing mother. Did she find out something that cost her her life? When two more bodies are recovered from the bottom of the lake, Simon Strasser can finally forget La Dolce Vita. In a case in which nothing is as it first seems, the former police reporter and the local inspector are once again a perfect team." (Back cover of "Isola Mortale")
