What lies beneath?
Venice, June 2020. The city has returned to the Venetians during a merciful pause in the Covid pandemic, and few overseas visitors are to be seen. Yet Dominic Vicari, a British private investigator haunted by loss, has travelled across Europe to the tiny island of San Francesco del Deserto. The ancient monastery there, it is said, was founded by St Francis himself in the 13th century. Its population now consists of five Franciscan brothers and three pilgrims on retreat. Or, rather, two pilgrims and a dead man.
Nathan Sutherland is called in when Vicari's broken body is found at the base of the campanile, his death seemingly nothing more than a terrible accident. But Nathan isn't so sure and sets out on an investigation that will reunite him with an old friend and an old adversary, and the discovery of a terrible secret hidden at the heart of the lagoon.

Fabulous evocative Venice and Nathan doing his best! Love it.
The combination of Philip Gwynn Jones and Tim is just brilliant. Venice glittering and empty must have been something to behold, particularly after such stark times. The story as always keeps you tripping along, soaking in the atmosphere and just hoping Nathan doesn’t put his foot in it and that just maybe, this once, he’ll get the better of the cat (yeah right!).

Venice after Covid
PGJ’s love of Venice doesn’t blind him to the realities and contradictions of life in the beautiful, historic Veneto.
