Description
A mysterious sculpture at the heart of the Fornarini family's secrets holds a powerful allure. When Raikes, a conservation expert, sets out to restore it, he finds himself drawn into a world of lust and murder.
As he becomes increasingly entwined with Chiara Litsov, a member of the Fornarini family, Raikes' moral grounding begins to slip away. The boundaries between art and desire blur, leading him down a dark path from which there is no return.
This gripping tale explores the complexities of human obsession and the devastating consequences that can follow.
