THE MEDICI SECRET
Fiction (Thriller) 409 pages
Arrow - February 28, 2008
Fleeing for his life amid the swirling murky waters of the 1966 Florence floods, the Warden of the Medici Chapel rescues a metal tube from the vault containing more than 50 Medici tombs.
In present-day Florence, scientists are working in the vault, analysing the embalmed bodies to determine the cause of death of some of the most important Medici figures. When they work on the bodies of Cosimo de’ Medici and his wife, the academics are divided – are they Medici bodies or are they substitutes? And if this is not the leading Renaissance figure of his day, where is the real body? When one of the researchers is murdered, and the material he was working on stolen, the investigation moves from scientific to criminal.
A fast-paced thriller set in Florence and Venice that bring the Renaissance and its mysteries into present day focus. -
