Italian tourist destination in Ransome novel (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
san remo
'italian tourist destination' is the definition.
(San Remo or Sanremo is an Italian city)
'ransome novel' is the wordplay.
'novel' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in a new or novel order).
'ransome' anagrammed gives 'SAN REMO'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for san remo that I've seen before include "Ligurian resort" , "Tourist city on the Italian Riviera" , "Italian town" , "Scene of Lear's death" , "Italian port" .)
