A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

At a mist-shrouded villa on Lake Como, an Italian nobleman is grooming a young English tenor for a career on the glittering operatic stage. But the enigmatic young singer and his fiery mentor constantly clash. Before their sojourn is over, one will die by violence, and the other will disappear.

Kestrel is irresistibly drawn into this baffling case, and soon caught between the shadowy Carbonari - secret rebels against the Austrians - and the equally ruthless Austrian-sponsored police. And at the heart of the mystery is the captivating English tenor known only as 'Orfeo'...
