Clarissa "Cici" McNair Unveils Riveting True Adventure "Prosecco Is the Answer":

By: McNair Writes
 
ARLINGTON, Va. - March 18, 2025 - PRLog -- Palermo, Sicily — Internationally acclaimed author, licensed private investigator, and globetrotting storyteller Clarissa McNair (aka Cici McNair) invites readers into her whirlwind Sicilian escapade with her latest release, Prosecco Is the Answer
This gripping memoir chronicles McNair's audacious journey from New York City detective to renovating a derelict Tunisian nightclub in Palermo's labyrinthine Arab Quarter—a venture that pits her against Mafia extortion and a cast of characters as vibrant as Sicily itself.

About the Book
When McNair trades Manhattan's skyline for Palermo's sun-drenched chaos, she ships 73 crates of her life—42 boxes of books, paintings, a Venetian chandelier—to a crumbling vicolo teeming with secrets. Amidst drug deals at her doorstep and a 1,000-year-old church storing stolen goods, she battles "Trump of the Alley," a Mafia boss who threatens to gouge out her eyes with his car key. With humor and grit, she navigates a world of napping laborers, a charming Anglican vicar, and a detective named Marlon Brando. The tale crescendos with a birthday bash for Oscar Wilde, proving that prosecco—and sheer tenacity—trump fear.
