About this title

Review:

The unveiling of a Contessa's portrait at a Palazzo in Venice brings together two grand families, long separated by a history of intrigue. Peopled with old Venetian nobility, a British widow, an art historian, and American expatriate biographer (and part-time sleuth) Urbino MacIntyre, Edward Sklepowich has created a mysterious settling flavored with the enigmatic qualities of Venice. When a November squall cuts off communication from the outside world,the Palazzo is the scene of a murder. A classic "closed room" mystery unfolds, with plenty of suspects and multiple motives.
