When a well-known British TV historian, Marmaduke Godolphin, is found murdered in the canals of Venice during carnival, stabbed by a stiletto blade, the Venetian police are eager to have the case solved and cleared up within a day - murder is bad for tourism! The police recruit the help of retired archivist, Arnold Clover. Godolphin had hired his services on arriving in Venice to help sort through some historical papers of note. These dusty documents may contain previously unknown information about the assassination of the murderer, Lorenzino de' Medici, 500 years previously. How coincidental that Godolphin meets his death in the same place as the Medici murderer, Lorenzino, on a cold, dark, bloody night. Can Arnold use his powers of perception to establish a link and solve the murder of Godolphin?

#01: Medici Murders, The

Hewson writes with both power and grace, and is a true master of his craft * Craig Russell, author of The Devil Aspect, on The Garden of Angels * Vivid and compelling. At once a richly wrought thriller, a love story and a warning that spans decades. I was thinking about this book for days after I' d closed it * Sarah Pinborough, No 1 bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes, on The Garden of Angels * In The Garden of Angels, not only do we explore Hewson' s characters over three generations of life-changing circumstances, but also the city of Venice, equally ' in extremis' . It awakens the senses and opens the heart * Richard Armitage, Olivier-award winning actor (and narrator of the audiobook) * Full of layers, like a Russian nesting doll . . . A good read for those who love their World War II thrillers with a bit of history included. Followers of Donna Leon' s "Commissario Brunetti" mysteries may appreciate the atmosphere and the intrigue * Library Journal on The Garden of Angels * Readers will be gripped and hold fast until the shocking end. Hewson' s fans will look forward to the next installment * Publishers Weekly on Devil' s Fjord *
