Who knows what Agatha Christie would think of "The Mystery of the Ladies of Lautrec" first mystery novel by Stefano Guidotti from Piacenza, an avid genre reader who ten years ago began to devote himself to writing by creating some short stories up to the creation of the book published by Ciesse Edizioni.
