A gripping thriller set in Urbino, Italy, Raphael's birthplace, WAKING RAPHAEL is the story of the restoration of a painting and of a community keeping secrets. An investigation into a nearly forgotten war crime is triggered when an enigmatic mute woman, Muta, stabs a Count, in the process damaging Raphael's painting 'La Muta' which has just been restored.
