A Thrilling Historical Italian Mystery Set in the Renaissance Era

Espionage, Suspense, Murder, Revenge,
all framed within a painting of the Archangel Gabriel.

The Year of Our Lord 1488

‘All men have enemies but I had more than most.’...
Simone da Benno, famed fresco painter and enfant terrible of the Medici court.

Fearing death at the hands of his rivals, Simone da Benno flees Florence. Foolishly thinking things can’t get any worse, he heads north with Tomma, his shrewd young apprentice, to paint a fresco for the duke of the enemy city. As they start on their masterpiece, they are invited to stay at the home of a wealthy silk merchant, Donato Favoni.

At last it seems their luck has changed. But it doesn’t take long before they find themselves dragged back into the old, familiar world of blood feuds, conspiracy and deceit.

What is the secret of Villa Favoni? They must work quickly to solve the mystery as there are others who want to know.

It’s their intimate knowledge of the criminal mind, along with the courage of a young novice nun, that helps them uncover the terrible truth and save themselves and the fortunes of Italy.
