The Last Gondola

Investigating a few lost trinkets, Urbino Macintyre discovers a mysterious murder

Samuel Possle is Venice's oldest expatriate, a reclusive former playboy who would make the perfect subject for a book. Biographer and amateur sleuth Urbino Macintyre has been trying for months to get an interview with Possle, and he is about to give up when the Contessa da Capo-Zendrini, offers to introduce him to Possle in exchange for a favor. Worthless items have gone missing from her home, and she wants Macintyre to find out if they were stolen or if her mind is beginning to slip. Interviewing Possle and searching for the contessa's missing baubles draws the detective into the city's gothic underbelly, where dark figures seem to lurk around every corner, and the fog conceals terrible secrets.
