About this ebook
Venice, 1604. When rumours of a rare and priceless diamond begin to
circulate amongst the gamblers and courtesans of the Venetian demi-monde,
the Levant Company merchant Paul Pindar becomes convinced that the
jewel is linked to the fate of his former love, Celia Lamprey. As his
obsession with the mysterious stone grows it becomes clear that there
are other, more sinister forces at play. Is the diamond real, or is it
just a trick to lure him to his ruin?
