title: The Marshal and the Murderer (A Florentine Mystery)
author:  Magdalen Nabb 
description: <u><b>Praise for Magdalen Nabb</b></u><br /><br />The exquisite sensibility of Magdalen Nabbs police procedurals has all to do with the feeling of displacement that haunts her sensitively observed characters.<br /><b><i>The New York Times Book Review</i> </b><br /><br />"Every word should be savored."<br /><b><i>Washington Post Book World</i> <br /></b><br />"The best mystery news in ages is that Soho is restoring to the canon Magdalen Nabb and her tremendous creation, Marshal Guarnaccia of the Italian Police in Florence."<br /><b><i>Chicago Tribune</i> </b><br /><br />"Nabb continues to extend conventions of the police procedural to suit her own intriguing vision and purpose."<br /><b><i>The Philadelphia Inquirer</i></b>
