Summary
Disillusioned by the darker side of Venice, English cataloguer Daniel Forster discovers a lost musical masterpiece within a library of dusty manuscripts and is drawn into a treacherous game of deception that spans three centuries, from the periods of Vivaldi and Rousseau to the present.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In an ancient burial ground on an island off Venice, a young womanâs 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 cityâs mystery and eroticism. An earnest young academic, Daniel has come for a summer job cataloguing a private collectorâs library. But when Danielâs 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 investigationâand 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 killerâand a mystery was born. Separated by centuries, two tales of passion, betrayal, and danger collide in David Hewsonâs dazzling novel. Sweeping us from the intrigue of Vivaldiâs Venice to the gritty world of a modern cop, from the genius of a prodigy to the greed of a killer, Luciferâs Shadow builds to a shattering crescendoâand one last, breathtaking surprise.
