Rome whispers about a poison that looks like holy water.
They call it Aqua Tofana-a saint-faced bottle passed hand to hand, a rumour with a price, a promise made to desperate wives behind shuttered windows. Men call it evil. Priests call it temptation. The streets call it justice.
But Giulia knows what it really is: a brand built in the cracks of a city that leaves women no safe exits.
When a quiet network of laundresses, servants and midwives begins to fray under pressure-boots on stone, coins offered for silence, and the Church leaning close-Giulia must protect the one person she cannot afford to lose: her daughter. Together they move through Rome disguised as ordinary women, trading in thread-signs and whispered warnings, as a private hunt threatens to become official.
Told in Giulia's intimate voice and grounded in historical record, AQUA TOFANA is a dark, atmospheric true-crime historical novel about survival, motherhood, and the stories men tell when they need a devil.
In the end, Rome will keep chewing.
