Murder and madness blur in an asylum high in the hills above Florence, in this atmospheric and evocative historical locked-room mystery set against the backdrop of the Medici dynasty, from CWA Historical Dagger-winning author, D. V. Bishop, and sequel to the acclaimed Carnival of Lies.
The Crime Writers’ Association Historical Dagger Winning Author
Tuscany. Winter, 1540.
Travelling north into the hills above Florence, investigator Cesare Aldo seeks answers about his past. The trail leads him to Ospedale de’ Pazzi, a secure institution for the criminally insane.
Soon after arriving a blizzard engulfs the area, trapping Aldo and his companion, Doctor Saul Orvieto. Even more alarming, their cart driver is found dead. It looks like he fell over a nearby cliff in the whiteout – but Aldo suspects foul play. When a brutal slaying occurs in the central courtyard, it becomes clear a killer lurks among them.
With the snowstorm sealing everyone in and a murderer hunting fresh victims, Aldo’s search for the truth proves deadlier than he could ever have imagined . . .
Shadow of Madness is the sixth Cesare Aldo mystery by D. V. Bishop, preceded by Carnival of Lies, A Divine Fury, City of Vengeance, The Darkest Sin and Ritual of Fire.

D. V. Bishop is the pseudonym of award-winning writer David Bishop. His love for the city of Florence and the Renaissance period meant there could be only one setting for his historical thrillers. The first Cesare Aldo novel, City of Vengeance, won the Pitch Perfect competition at the Bloody Scotland crime writing festival and the NZ Booklovers Award for Best Adult Fiction Book. Book two in the series, The Darkest Sin, won the prestigious Crime Writers’ Association Historical Dagger. He teaches creative writing at Edinburgh Napier University. Shadow of Madness is the fifth Cesare Aldo mystery, preceded by City of Vengeance, The Darkest Sin, Ritual of Fire, A Divine Fury and Carnival of Lies.
