Synopsis
‘[An] intriguing, tense thriller. The ending is to die for’ Daily Express
Years ago, Guido Brunetti cleared the opera star Flavia Petrelli of the murder of a renowned conductor. When she returns to Venice to sing as the lead in Tosca, Brunetti and his wife Paola think nothing of attending an early performance.
But when Flavia confesses her alarm about the overwhelming attention she has received from an anonymous fan – and then a singer who she compliments is savagely attacked – Brunetti is alarmed. As Brunetti sets out to uncover the attacker and bring them to justice, he soon finds himself drawn into the psyche of an obsessive fan . . .
