Fantasy Historical
Hampered by arthritis, Nostradamus is in no mood for
granting favors or running about looking for trouble. But
when his apprentice Alfeo’s mistress asks him to investigate
the murder of her beloved courtesan mentor—and promises a
fortune in payment—he comes around.
It appears that
someone is murdering the courtesans of Venice. All were
well-known, admired for their skills—and somehow connected
by a sinister event involving one of the great families of
the city.
While Nostradamus attempts to use the dark
arts to solve riddles which confound explanation, Alfeo
finds himself led by a possibly demonic force through a maze
of deceit and death. And when the master and apprentice come
to the end of their intertwined paths, there may be hell to pay.
