Winter
has come early to Venice.
Two orphaned children are
on the run, hiding among the crumbling canals and misty alleyways
of the city. Befriended by a gang of street children and their
mysterious leader, the Thief Lord, they shelter in an old, disused
cinema.
On their trail is a bungling detective, obsessed
with disguises and the health of his pet tortoises. But a greater
threat to the boys' new-found freedom is something from a
forgotten past - a beautiful magical treasure with the power to spin
time itself ...
A thrilling, atmospheric adventure set among the crumbling
canals of Venice
