Book description
Eva Hicks has come to Italy for love and art. What she finds in the
shifting light of Tuscany are gunshots along the terraced hillsides, the
enigmatic Nye and a sense of her misplaced faith.
Meanwhile, in a crypt beneath the wintry stones of Venice, Matthew
Rennie is cleaning the grime from a medieval fresco. Better here than
above ground, where Nye holds sway, masked figures shadow him and people
like Eva Hicks throw things into question.
