City of Vengeance

An impressive and immersive debut set in a beautifully realized sixteenth-century Florence. Investigator Cesare Aldo is a fascinating and charismatic protagonist. Highly recommendedAntonia Hodgson, author of A Death at Fountains Abbey

A first-class historical thriller with echoes of The Name of the Rose . . . a tour-de-force and clearly demonstrates the sixteenth century was as full of thrills and mysteries as the twenty-first, perhaps even a shade moreDavid Baldacci, author of the Amos Decker series

Richly atmospheric . . . transports you to another time and placeAmbrose Parry, author of The Way of All Flesh

So fluid and fluent, the pages almost turn themselves . . . Aldo is a great creation, resourceful, driven and forced to hide who he really is, but nevertheless is compelled to find justice for those who deserve itJames Oswald, bestselling author of the Inspector McLean series
