Michelangelo's Ghost — Gigi Pandian

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR



“Charming characters, a hint of romantic conflict, and just the right amount of danger will garner more fans for this cozy series.” �" Publishers Weekly on Quicksand


“Pandian's sprightly prose celebrates the pleasures of Italian painting, food, and landscape. The light touch, swift pace, and verve maintained throughout the novel disguise the deeper thought and scholarship underpinning the story, which like the stage props of a conjurer, make the magic happen.”�" Linda Lappin, Author of Signatures in Stone: A Bomarzo Mystery



Can treasure-hunting historian Jaya Jones unmask a killer ghost?



A lost work of art linking India to the Italian Renaissance. A killer hiding behind a centuries-old ghost story. And a hidden treasure in Italy's macabre sculpture garden known as the Park of Monsters… 


Filled with the unexpected twists, vivid historical details, and cross-cultural connections Pandian is known for, Michelangelo's Ghost is the most fast-paced and spellbinding Jaya Jones novel to date. 


When Jaya's old professor dies under eerie circumstances shortly after discovering manuscripts that point to a treasure in Italy's Park of Monsters, Jaya and her brother pick up the trail. From San Francisco to the heart of Italy, Jaya is haunted by a ghost story inexorably linked to the masterpieces of a long-dead artist and the deeds of a modern-day murderer. Untrustworthy colleagues, disappearing boyfriends, and old enemies -- who can Jaya trust when the ghost wails?
