The Medici Murders by David Hewson
The first in a brand-new mystery series from the acclaimed author of The Killing and Devil's Fjord.'Serious history buffs are in for a treat' -Kirkus ReviewsVenice is a city full of secrets. For hundreds of years it has been the scene of scandal, intrigue and murderous rivalries. And it remains so today. 1548, Lorenzino de Medici, himself a murderer and a man few will miss, is assassinated by two hired killers. Today, Marmaduke Godolphin, British TV historian and a man even fewer will miss, is stabbed by a stiletto blade on the exact same spot, his body dropping into the canal. Can the story of the first murder explain the attack on Godolphin? The Carabinieri certainly think so. They recruit retired archivist Arnold Clover to unpick the mystery and to help solve the case. But the conspiracy against Godolphin runs deeper than anyone imagined.Former journalist David Hewson worked for The Times, The Sunday Times, and The Independent. He is the author of almost twenty-five novels, notably the Nic Costa series set in Rome, which has been translated into fifteen languages. He's also authored three critically lauded adaptations of The Killing, a Danish television series. He lives in Kent, near Canterbury.
