Description
The Vivaldi Cipher by Gary McAvoy is a gripping tale of art forgery and conspiracy that spans centuries. In 18th-century Venice, renowned violinist Antonio Vivaldi conceals a message in a special melody, hoping to expose a ring of forgers who are replacing the Vatican's priceless treasures with expertly-painted fakes. Nearly three hundred years later, a dying Mafia Don's confession sets off a chain of events that leads Father Michael Dominic, a Venetian priest, to investigate a puzzling piece of music. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he teams up with music cryptologist Dr. Livia Gallo and French commando to uncover the truth behind the centuries-long conspiracy. Their quest takes them through the dark canals and grand palazzos of Venice in pursuit of evidence that could stop the sinister plot and save the Church's most valuable artworks from falling prey to this massive conspiracy.
