When a well-known British TV historian is found murdered in the canals of Venice during carnival, the police recruit the help of retired archivist, Arnold Clover, to solve the case quickly. How coincidental that the historian met his death in the same place as the famous murderer, Lorenzino de' Medici, 500 years previously ...
The first in a brand-new mystery series from the acclaimed author of The Killing and Devil's Fjord.
'Serious history buffs are in for a treat' -Kirkus Reviews
Venice is a city full of secrets. For hundreds of years it has been the scene of scandal, intrigue and murderous rivalries. And it remains so today.
1548, Lorenzino de Medici, himself a murderer and a man few will miss, is assassinated by two hired killers.
Today, Marmaduke Godolphin, British TV historian and a man even fewer will miss, is stabbed by a stiletto blade on the exact same spot, his body dropping into the canal.
Can the story of the first murder explain the attack on Godolphin? The Carabinieri certainly think so. They recruit retired archivist Arnold Clover to unpick the mystery and to help solve the case. But the conspiracy against Godolphin runs deeper than anyone imagined.
