When he turns up dead again four years later, the parish priest asks Stefano Bigio, an impoverished nobleman, to unravel the circumstances of the artist's deaths and disappearance. So begins a journey into the corrupt underbelly of the dying Republic of Venice. Lies, murder, and the ambition of the powerful block Bigio's way. He has no choice but to seek clues to the mystery in the magnificent art of the city to which he has paid little attention. Like Raymond Chandler's true detective, Bigio is a man of honor and character who travels down the mean byways of a secretive and corrupt city seeking the truth for the sake of the dead and the living. Blending a historical mystery with a tour of the great works of the city, The Three Deaths of Giovanni Fumiani draws a compelling picture of 18th-century Venice and the power of honor, love, and art to open eyes and change lives.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50395095007505,"sku":"CIN1944453229G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52717361594641,"sku":"NLS9781944453220","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1944453229.jpg?v=1750771017"},{"product_id":"jewel-trader-of-pegu-book-jeffrey-hantover-9780061252716","title":"The Jewel Trader of Pegu","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the autumn of 1598, Abraham, a melancholy young Jewish gem merchant, seeks his fortune far from the imprisoning ghetto walls of Venice.
