  <description><![CDATA[In an ancient burial ground on an island off Venice, a young woman’s casket is pried open, an object is wrenched from her hands, and an extraordinary adventure begins.<br/><br/>From the moment he arrives in Venice, Daniel Forster is seduced by the city’s mystery and eroticism. An earnest young academic, Daniel has come for a summer job cataloguing a private collector’s library.  But when Daniel’s employer sends him to buy a stolen violin from a petty thief, a chain reaction of violence and deception ignites.   Suddenly Daniel is drawn into a police investigation—and a tempest swirling around a beautiful woman, a mysterious palazzo, and a lost musical masterpiece dating back centuries. With each step he takes, Daniel unwittingly retraces a journey that began in 1733, when another young man came to Venice.  And when, in this realm of intrigue and beauty, two lovers came face-to-face with a killer—and a mystery was born. Separated by centuries, two tales of passion, betrayal, and danger collide in David Hewson’s dazzling novel.  Sweeping us from the intrigue of Vivaldi’s Venice to the gritty world of a modern cop, from the genius of a prodigy to the greed of a killer, <strong>Lucifer’s Shadow</strong> builds to a shattering crescendo—and one last, breathtaking surprise.<br/><br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[In an ancient burial ground on an island off Venice, a young woman’s casket is pried open, an object is wrenched from her hands, and an extraordinary adventure begins.<br/><br/>From the moment he arrives in Venice, Daniel Forster is seduced by the city’s mystery and eroticism. An earnest young academic, Daniel has come for a summer job cataloguing a private collector’s library.  But when Daniel’s employer sends him to buy a stolen violin from a petty thief, a chain reaction of violence and deception ignites.   Suddenly Daniel is drawn into a police investigation—and a tempest swirling around a beautiful woman, a mysterious palazzo, and a lost musical masterpiece dating back centuries. With each step he takes, Daniel unwittingly retraces a journey that began in 1733, when another young man came to Venice.  And when, in this realm of intrigue and beauty, two lovers came face-to-face with a killer—and a mystery was born. Separated by centuries, two tales of passion, betrayal, and danger collide in David Hewson’s dazzling novel.  Sweeping us from the intrigue of Vivaldi’s Venice to the gritty world of a modern cop, from the genius of a prodigy to the greed of a killer, <strong>Lucifer’s Shadow</strong> builds to a shattering crescendo—and one last, breathtaking surprise.<br/><br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[In an ancient burial ground on an island off Venice, a young woman’s casket is pried open, an object is wrenched from her hands, and an extraordinary adventure begins.<br/><br/>From the moment he arrives in Venice, Daniel Forster is seduced by the city’s mystery and eroticism. An earnest young academic, Daniel has come for a summer job cataloguing a private collector’s library.  But when Daniel’s employer sends him to buy a stolen violin from a petty thief, a chain reaction of violence and deception ignites.   Suddenly Daniel is drawn into a police investigation—and a tempest swirling around a beautiful woman, a mysterious palazzo, and a lost musical masterpiece dating back centuries. With each step he takes, Daniel unwittingly retraces a journey that began in 1733, when another young man came to Venice.  And when, in this realm of intrigue and beauty, two lovers came face-to-face with a killer—and a mystery was born. Separated by centuries, two tales of passion, betrayal, and danger collide in David Hewson’s dazzling novel.  Sweeping us from the intrigue of Vivaldi’s Venice to the gritty world of a modern cop, from the genius of a prodigy to the greed of a killer, <strong>Lucifer’s Shadow</strong> builds to a shattering crescendo—and one last, breathtaking surprise.<br/><br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I guess that I'm attracted to tales set in Venice and stories that contain two or more related plotlines set in different eras.  This is a rich, intriguing, and at times terrifying novel that I have read twice and plan to read again--but not when Pat is out of town.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great book. I really enjoyed the two separate plots set in different time periods but with one unifying theme. And just being in Venice made the book that more enjoyable. ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In an ancient burial ground on an island off Venice, a young woman’s casket is pried open, an object is wrenched from her hands, and an extraordinary adventure begins.<br/><br/>From the moment he arrives in Venice, Daniel Forster is seduced by the city’s mystery and eroticism. An earnest young academic, Daniel has come for a summer job cataloguing a private collector’s library.  But when Daniel’s employer sends him to buy a stolen violin from a petty thief, a chain reaction of violence and deception ignites.   Suddenly Daniel is drawn into a police investigation—and a tempest swirling around a beautiful woman, a mysterious palazzo, and a lost musical masterpiece dating back centuries. With each step he takes, Daniel unwittingly retraces a journey that began in 1733, when another young man came to Venice.  And when, in this realm of intrigue and beauty, two lovers came face-to-face with a killer—and a mystery was born. Separated by centuries, two tales of passion, betrayal, and danger collide in David Hewson’s dazzling novel.  Sweeping us from the intrigue of Vivaldi’s Venice to the gritty world of a modern cop, from the genius of a prodigy to the greed of a killer, <strong>Lucifer’s Shadow</strong> builds to a shattering crescendo—and one last, breathtaking surprise.<br/><br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]>
