Product Description

Product Description

In the ancient burial ground of San Michele on an island off Venice, a young woman’s casket is prised open, an object wrenched from her hands, and an extraordinary story begins.

Young academic Daniel Forster arrives in Venice working for the summer in the library of a private collector. When his employer sends him to buy a stolen violin from a petty thief, he ignites a chain of violence, deception, intrigue and murder. Daniel is drawn into the police investigation surrounding a beautiful woman, a mysterious palazzo and a lost musical masterpiece dating back to 1733.

Separated by centuries, two tales of passion, betrayal and danger collide transporting the reader from the intrigue of Vivaldi’s Venice to the gritty world of a modern detective. From the genius of prodigy to the greed of a killer, The Cemetery of Secrets builds to a shattering crescendo – and one last, breathtaking surprise.

'Richly enjoyable . . . sophisticated and beguiling'

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware book already in print under a different name, 11 Oct 2009
By Mrs. P. M. Spink (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with Mr Mulholland, this book has already been published under the title "Lucifer's Shadow", this was not made clear when ordering. I am quite annoyed about this. Why has David Hewson allowed this to happen - or does he have no control over how his books are published?

1.0 out of 5 stars Great is you have not already got it, 8 Oct 2009
By Mr. M. Mulholland (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was the book which really made me get into David Hewson before the Nic Costa series. It was originally issued as Lucifer's Shadow and I have a copy of that title. Although the theme looked very familiar from the Amazon webiste; the fact that the earlier publishing history is was not apparent made me think it was a new work. Therefore, I was very disappointed when it arrived. However, if you are a David Hewson fan or the description appeals and you do not have the book already, it is a great read.
