Séria záhad je zasadená do Benátok v roku 1749, obdobia, keď sa mesto stalo centrom pôžitkov a intríg. Ponorte sa do sveta hazardných hier, kurtizán a bujarej karnevalovej atmosféry, kde sa umenie a divadlo miešajú so špionážou. Každá kniha odhaľuje zložité zločiny v prostredí pulzujúceho mesta s bohatou históriou a skrytými tajomstvami.
Venice in 1749 - the city has lost its political and financial primacy but has become Europe's pleasure capital, famous for its gambling dens, its courtesans, its hectic carnival, its music, art and theatre - and the most highly organised secret service in Europe.
The second in a new series of mystery thrillers set in mid-18th-century Venice, follwing the acclaimed Ascension.
