Synopsis

In the magical and historically rich city of Siena, Italy, old paintings are as common as cobblestones. But what if some of those paintings are forgeries? And what if your employers at a respected firm of art conservators might be smuggling antiquities? After colleague and roommate Ernst Mann is found dead in the street below their apartment balcony, Flora Garibaldi suspects her bosses are crooks and that her new job is disintegrating into desiccated paint flakes.
Burnt Sienna is a suspenseful mystery combining a spectacular Italian setting with complicated

art historical dilemmas. The story of Flora Garibaldi and the colorful Lorenzetti family will take the reader on a labyrinthine journey while probing family and professional loyalties that no amount of yellowed varnish can hide

About this title

Review

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR SARAH WISSEMAN
". . . Wisseman does a great job of combining 'archaeology for dummies' and a great plot with lots of action and interesting characters to make her first Lisa Donahue mystery provocative, page-turning entertainment . . . Bound for Eternity is crisp and seductive."

-- Midwest Book Review on Bound for Eternity
". . . Wisseman's talent is writing character-driven novels that keep readers turning the pages and coming back for another installment. Lisa Donahue is a spunky, realistic and lovable character who readers will certainly cheer through The Fall of Augustus and the entire series . . . "

-- Champaign-Urbana News Gazette on The Fall of Augustus
". . . Wisseman's novels are fast-paced and carefully constructed."

-- Mark Laughlin, Smile Politely on The House of Sphinx
"Wicked! Wisseman just keeps getting better!" --Molly MacRae, author of the Haunted Yarn
