FROM THE PUBLISHER
"In an ancient burial ground on an island off Venice, a young woman's casket is pried open, an object is wrenched from her hands, and an extraordinary adventure begins." From the moment he arrives in Venice, Daniel Forster is seduced by the city's mystery and eroticism. An earnest young academic, Daniel has come for a summer job cataloguing a private collector's library. But when Daniel's employer sends him to buy a stolen violin from a petty thief, a chain reaction of violence and deception ignites. Suddenly Daniel is drawn into a police investigation - and a tempest swirling around a beautiful woman, a mysterious palazzo, and a lost musical masterpiece dating back centuries. With each step he takes, Daniel unwittingly retraces a journey that began in 1733, when another young man came to Venice. And when, in this realm of intrigue and beauty, two lovers came face-to-face with a killer - and a mystery was born.

I heard good things about the author and ordered this book from Amazon.com. I was suprised to find the Book Crossing label inside the front cover but was glad to do so as I would not have known of the Crossing effort. I have ordered labels from Crossing and will leave many of my books in places in Moore County NC. I will leave "Lucifer's Shadow" in Moore Regional Hospital, where I work.
