Venice, 1945. The war may be waning, but the city known as La Serenissima is still occupied and the people of Italy fear the power of the Third Reich. One night, under a canopy of stars, a fisherman named Cenzo finds a young woman floating in the lagoon and soon discovers that she is still alive and in trouble.

Born to a wealthy Jewish family, Giulia is on the run from the Wehrmacht SS. Cenzo chooses to protect Giulia -- an act of kindness that leads them into the world of partisans, Mussolini's broken promises, and, everywhere, the enigmatic maze of the Venice Lagoon . . .


I was struggling to find a second book for the "buy one get one..." offer but then I saw this and having read Martin Cruz Smith's Gorky Park years ago I thought I'd give it a chance, especially because it's set somewhere off the beaten track as far as Second World War novels are concerned.
