VENICE: A CITY OF MISTS AND MYSTERY...
There was something profoundly sinister in this ancient, luxurious palazzo which had once been the scene of so much gaiety, but which now housed only the old Contessa, her secretive daughter, and the broodingly handsome Count Alessandro Vascari.
It was here that Melanie Noland's beautiful sister, Salina, herself once Contessa Vascari, had passed seven years of marriage. And it was here that she had died, slowly, mysteriously, of an undiagnosed disease...
But for the gentle attentions of Count Alessandro and a chance meeting with the impulsive young British artist who had painted Salina's portrait, Melanie might have returned to England. She would have been spared the discovery that her sister had been murdered, and that she was the next marked for a terrible death!
