City of Vengeance: From the Winner of The Crime Writers'' Association Historical Dagger Award

English

By (author): D. V. Bishop

The Crime Writers' Association Historical Dagger Winning Author

City of Vengeance is an explosive debut novel in an historical thriller series by D. V. Bishop, set in Renaissance Florence.

'An impressive and immersive debut set in a beautifully realized sixteenth-century Florence' Antonia Hodgson

'A first-class historical thriller . . . Bishops spirited and richly detailed story is a tour-de-force' David Baldacci

Florence. Winter, 1536. A prominent Jewish moneylender is murdered in his home, a death with wide implications in a city powered by immense wealth.

Cesare Aldo, a former soldier and now an officer of the Renaissance citys most feared criminal court, is given four days to solve the murder: catch the killer before the feast of Epiphany or suffer the consequences.

During his investigations Aldo uncovers a plot to overthrow the volatile ruler of Florence, Alessandro de Medici. If the Duke falls, it will endanger the whole city. But a rival officer of the court is determined to expose details about Aldos private life that could lead to his ruin. Can Aldo stop the conspiracy before anyone else dies, or will his own secrets destroy him first?

'Richly atmospheric . . . transports you to another time and place' Ambrose Parry, author of The Way of All Flesh

Continue the historical series with The Darkest Sin.
