Description

|
|
|
In this third Investigator Yashim mystery, after the Edgar Award–winning The Janissary Tree and The Snake Stone, the intrepid eunuch sleuth is tasked with the recovery of a stolen masterpiece from Bellini that seems to have resurfaced in Venice. Yashim sends his friend, the former Polish ambassador Palewski, to investigate. Palewski arrives in disguise in down-and-out Venice in 1840, where a killer is at large as dealers, faded aristocrats, and other unknown factions vie to uncover the Bellini. But is it the painting itself that endangers all, or something associated with its original loss? And why is it that all the killer's victims are somehow tied to the alluring Contessa d'Aspi d'Istria?
