Suspense
An unforgettable adventure beginning where Shakespeare's
Othello leaves off Wounded in love, tormented by his past, Shakespeare's most
complex villain is brought magnificently to life in this
tale of two adversaries—one an accused killer; the other,
one of the most powerful men in Venice. Having escaped from
Cyprus, accused of the murders of the governor, known as the
Moor, and his lovely young wife, Iago is now locked in
battle with Annibale Malipiero, known as Il Terribile, the
chief inquisitor of Italy's greatest city. Malipiero is repelled by the more brutal tasks of the
interrogante. His obsession is with the very nature of evil.
What makes a man into a murderer, he longs to know? Is Iago
a lone psychopath, or does he lie at the heart of a more
widespread Ottoman conspiracy? Malipiero knows that torture
will not provide him with the answers he seeks. But there
is, perhaps, a more audacious and unusual route to the truth
. . . Exuberantly inventive, thrillingly complex, and richly
entertaining, Iago will captivate fans already familiar with
Shakespeare and appeal to anyone who loves a rich historical
novel. Iago marks the emergence of a remarkable new literary
voice.
