VENETIAN GAME

From his office on the Street of the Assassins, Nathan Sutherland enjoys a steady but unexciting life translating Italian DIY manuals. This all changes dramatically when he is offered a large sum of money to look after a small package containing an extremely valuable antique prayer book illustrated by a Venetian master. Is it a stolen masterpiece or a brilliant fake? Unknown to Nathan, from a vast mansion on the Grand Canal twin brothers Domenico and Arcangelo Moro, motivated by nothing more than mutual hatred, have been playing out a complex game of art theft for 20 years. Now Nathan finds himself unwittingly drawn into their deadly business in a game of cross and double-cross in one of the most beautiful cities on earth. Book your Ryanair flight now! 309pp, paperback.
