Synopsis

After reluctant spy Alvise Marangon is arrested in a tavern brawl, he is summoned to meet the Missier Grande, head of the city's powerful secret service. Rather than being expelled from the city, he is coerced into a top-secret investigation of the mysterious death of one of the service's agents and the existence of a mysterious secret society. Apparently formed by four rakish noblemen, it is known as the Four Horsemen and seems to have connections with the Ottoman Empire. As Alvise delves into the case, he finds all the hallmarks of assassination and corruption, and is soon profoundly out of his depth and on the run.

Media Reviews

'Everything a lover of [historical fiction] could wish for ... Pulsating with intrigue, it whisks the reader from mystery to mystery through the streets of fog-bound Venice and culminates in a gripping climax'
