An exciting new medieval mystery series - Down on his luck in the Crimea, Venetian entrepreneur Nick Zuliani is dragged out of the gutter by Friar Alberoni. The priest wants him to be his bodyguard for an amazing journey to the court of the Mongol overlord, Kubla Khan, in the fabled city of Xanadu. Zuliani jumps at the chance, but he regrets his decision when he becomes embroiled in solving the murder of the very man Alberoni was seeking . . .

Ian Morson studied at Oxford University and lives in Berkhamsted, England. He is the author of ""Falconer's Crusade.""
Ian Morson's new series introduces thirteenth-century Venetian merchant Niccolò Zuliani. Zuliani is a charming rascal who makes a hasty exit from Venice because of some shady dealings. Friar Alberoni, who is trying to track down the fabled Christian ruler Prester John, hires Zuliani to accompany him on a journey to Kublai Khan's legendary city of Xanadu. Narrator Gordon Griffin's enthusiastic approach is just right for the irrepressible Zuliani, who has a keen eye for the beauties of Xanadu--female, scenic, and material. While Zuliani imagines the riches of the Mongol empire filling his pockets, what he actually encounters is treachery, palace intrigue, personal danger, and murder. Griffin's assorted accents are completely satisfying, and his timing is perfect for the plot twists. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
