Set Fire to Sicily by Jane Heritage

Marcello D'Estari, bastard son of a nobleman and a courtesan, is the most effective, most unmanageable and most amorous of the spies of the Venetian Republic. To safeguard its position as the greatest Mediterranean power, Venice needs intelligence, and to gather intelligence it needs spies and informers - courageous, reckless men who can pass unnoticed among peasants and courtiers alike, who can speak the polyglot dialects of the Mediterranean ports, who can befriend noblemen and seduce their wives, and who can, if necessary, kill. Marcello rarely enjoys the killing. Set Fire To Sicily is his first recorded mission.
Jane Heritage was born and brought up in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. She read Classics at King's College, Cambridge, where she met her husband and history muse, Jonathan. She took up writing as a relief from accountancy studies and now combines a busy career as an author with her work as organizational development consultant. In the little spare time that remains she studies singing, travels to research future books and make much of Jonathan and two Burmese cats in their Harrow home.
