But now her father-in-law lies murdered, and her husband has vanished. There's no one Emma can turn to for help but Emily, who leaves at once with her husband, the dashing Colin Hargreaves, for Venice. There, her investigations take her from opulent palazzi to slums, libraries, and bordellos. Emily soon realizes that to solve the present day crime, she must first unravel a centuries old puzzle. But the past does not give up its secrets easily, especially when these revelations might threaten the interests of some very powerful people.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Tasha Alexander has created Victorian London's most colorful and delightfully eccentric sleuth." --<i>Jacqueline Winspear on A Crimson Warning</i> <p/>"Tasha Alexander is one to watch--and read . . .

Her voice and the accurate historical details will keep the reader enthralled." --<i>Romantic Times (4 1/2 stars) on Tears of Pearl</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>TASHA ALEXANDER attended the University of Notre Dame, where she signed on as an English major in order to have a legitimate excuse for spending all her time reading.
