Description
The Vivaldi Cipher by Gary McAvoy In 18th-century Venice, a ring of art forgers replaced the Vatican's priceless treasures with expertly-painted fakes. To expose the culprits, composer Antonio Vivaldi hid a message in a special melody. Nearly three hundred years later, a dying Mafia Don's confession sets off a chain of events that leads a Venetian priest to a wealth of forged paintings in the Vatican Museum. A cryptic piece of music, hidden in an old composition by Vivaldi, holds the key to the identities of the forgers. Father Michael Dominic, a priest with expertise in the Secret Archives, teams up with music cryptologist Dr. Livia Gallo to crack the code. As they delve into the mystery, they must navigate the dark canals and grand palazzos of Venice to uncover the evidence needed to stop the sinister plot. With the help of a French commando and two valiant Swiss Guards, Father Dominic must unravel the centuries-long conspiracy before the Church's most valuable artworks fall prey to the Camorra's sinister plans.
