By universal consensus, there is only one exhibition worth seeing at this year's Venice Biennale, Giuditta Cancellieri's Il Timore di Dio, consisting of six paintings of something as yet undisclosed to anyone. Don't bother buying tickets, though. A local authority injunction means no one's getting in, not even the artist's closest associates. Since the announcement of Il Timore's inclusion in the festival, the city has been filling with felons, and most commentators don't think that's an accident. For Signorina Cancellieri is no ordinary artist. A twenty-five year old AIDS-victim from one of the toughest districts of Naples, she's also closely linked to one of MI7's old enemies, Constantius Sopa. As things come to a head, Agent Gavin Freedman is dispatched from London to find out just how intimate the link between Giuditta Cancellieri and Constantius Sopa is. Can she be persuaded to reveal his whereabouts? Or deceived into it? Or is she vastly more ingenious than anyone has given her credit for? Could the furore surrounding the pictures be merely a cloak for some vastly more destructive scheme not entirely hers? No library descriptions found. |

***** Best spy vs spy I've read in a while! The publisher's blurb covers the basics regarding the art exhibition, some of the players, the criminal elements, the intent for Venice to secede, and the involvement by British intelligence. What it doesn't convey is the very noir tone, the ongoing sense of anticipation, twists and switchbacks in the plot, and the extensive due diligence in the investigation. I loved it and was impressed!
Jack Wynter is a narrator I haven't heard before but his clear speech and comfortable delivery combined with the ability to differentiate the characters is world class.
I requested and received a free audio copy from the author via AudioBookBOOM. Thank you! ( )
