About the Book
A Renaissance city of lovers. A dark secret hidden in plain sight. A truth no one wants her to find.
Annabel never expected to find herself in Verona—the Renaissance city of star-crossed lovers, with its elegant palazzos and Gothic towers, and its famous balcony dedicated to Shakespeare’s most tragic heroine. As a confirmed cynic, Annabel is sure she’s immune to the romantic myths manufactured for tourists, and she’s surprised when Italy begins to work its spell on her.
But beneath the gilded surface of the city—beneath the laughter in the piazzas and the soft Italian dusk—someone is in terrible trouble. Her companion laughs it off, the locals tell her to mind her own business, but Annabel knows what she saw. She cannot leave it alone. Because somewhere in the shadows, behind the love stories and the legends, someone is running out of time… and Annabel may be the only person who can save them.
The White Lotus meets Daphne du Maurier in this lush, atmospheric psychological thriller – perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Lucy Clarke and Ruth Ware.
