Description
The Venetian Masquerade by Philip Gwynne Jones is set against the vibrant backdrop of Venice's Carnevale. A game of blackmail and betrayal unfolds as Nathan Sutherland's birthday celebration turns deadly at La Fenice opera house. The discovery of a mysterious stranger's business card in the victim's wallet sets Nathan on a quest to uncover the truth behind a lost Monteverdi opera. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Nathan's search takes him through Venice's winding streets and canals, leading him to a second, fatal discovery at an English church. The pursuit of the lost manuscript becomes a high-stakes game, with ruthless criminals demanding a steep price for its return. A final confrontation at La Fenice brings the story to a deadly climax. Philip Gwynne Jones' vivid portrayal of Venice is woven into a gripping tale that builds to a surreal and sinister conclusion.
