Philip Gwynne Jones' third book featuring English Honorary Consul, Nathan Sutherland - set against the background of Venice, the most beautiful city on earth.
Band 1 der atmosphärischen Venedig-Krimi-Serie um Nathan Sutherland. Britischer Gentleman-Charme trifft auf italienisches Dolce Vita. Als britischer Ehrenkonsul in Venedig hat Nathan Sutherland nicht gerade den aufregendsten Job der Welt: Er schlägt sich mit verlorenen Pässen und Wegbeschreibungen herum. Gesellschaft leisten ihm seine grantige Katze und das Porträt Ihrer Majestät. Daneben genießt er das venezianische Leben: Aperol am Canale, Tramezzini in der Trattoria. Dann geschieht etwas Unvorhergesehenes: Ein Unbekannter spielt Nathan ein Päckchen zu: ein Buch mit augenscheinlich originalen Illustrationen des Künstlers Giovanni Bellini aus dem 15. Jahrhundert. Schon bald muss Nathan feststellen, dass sich noch jemand anderes für das Buch interessiert ...

"There aren't that many perks to being Honorary Consul in Venice, but Nathan Sutherland does at least receive an invitation to the official opening of the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. A chance for prosecco in the sunshine, and to meet some of the greats of the art world. And then a world-famous critic is decapitated by one of the installations. A terrible accident, it seems, until a postcard is discovered in the victim's pocket. An image of Judith beheading Holofernes.Then a viperous arts columnist receives an image of The Death of Marat. A journalist with a shady past receives a postcard of Dore's Triumph of Death. And a corrupt agent receives Mantegna's Martyrdom of St Sebastian. As the bodies pile up, all signs point to Paul Considine, a brilliant but vulnerable British artist with a motive for revenge against all the victims. Nathan, however, isn't convinced, and sets out to prove his innocence. But then Nathan himself receives an image of Death bearing a scythe, and finds himself in a race against time to save his own life."--Provided by publisher.
