Thriller | Suspense
n this mesmerizing finale to the revolutionary Carnivia
Trilogy—following The Abomination and The Abduction—
Venetian
police captain Kat Tapo and U.S. Army intelligence analyst
Holly Boland embark on their most dangerous and disturbing
journey yet. On Venice’s popular Lido beach, a man is found lying on the
shore, his throat slit and his tongue viciously torn out,
and his face covered by an unusual antique mask. Superiors inside the Venice Carabinieri have finally given
Captain Kat Tapo permission to run her first murder case.
But when she learns that the mask is a Masonic
“hoodwink”—and that the circumstances of the man’s death
are
eerily similar to the Masonic punishment for betrayal—she
suspects that her appointment has darker implications. As a
woman, she cannot penetrate the closed world of Italian
freemasonry. The dead man is identified as a senior partner in a small
Catholic bank currently engaged in negotiations with one of
Italy’s richest men. Yet Kat knows that, when it comes to
Venice’s most powerful and influential, money isn’t the
only
motive for murder. While she focuses on her investigation, American
intelligence analyst Holly Boland finds a document among
her
father’s possessions that offers evidence of a shocking
Cold
War cover-up. The deeper the second lieutenant digs into
what her father knew, the more she begins to wonder: Was
her
father silenced before he could expose the truth? Reclusive genius Daniele Barbo, creator of the anonymous
virtual world Carnivia.com, makes a chilling discovery of
his own: his website has been contaminated by a malevolent
virus that will cripple Italy unless he can break his own
encryption and prevent catastrophe. As the three cases merge, the trio of allies uncover a
conspiracy involving the security services, the Church, and
the CIA—a devastating plot stretching back decades that
could destroy all three of them . . . but not without a
fight.
