Book Synopsis
'I devoured all Philip's novels and felt transported to Venice with a new intimacy' Val McDermid

'An unputdownable thriller' Gregory Dowling

'It is no surprise to find that Philip Gwynne Jones lives in Venice... art and architecture interweave into a story that builds to an almost surreal climax' Daily Mail

'Gwynne Jones's talent for evoking place and atmosphere is clear as ever' Literary Review

San Francesco del Deserto is an island in the north of the Venetian lagoon. The monastery there, it is said, was founded by St Francis himself in the 13th century, following his return from the fifth crusade. Just five monks now remain.  Popular with those seeking to escape the crowds of Venice itself, the island also offers itself as a place of retreat.
