Complex, beautiful, suspenseful, Lucifer’s Shadow is David Hewson’s most tantalising and rewarding novel yet.
When Daniel Forster, a young Englishman, arrives in Venice for a summer job, he soon finds that the city’s glittering facade masks a much darker reality. Cataloguing a library of old manuscripts, Daniel discovers a lost musical masterpiece, and is drawn into a game of deception, leading to a vertiginous spiral of criminal conspiracy and erotic pursuit, with its roots in the political minefield of Vivaldi’s Venice. Thus two stories, centuries apart, are intercut and eventually drawn together in a stunning double-twist ending that will leave the reader gasping for breath.

PRAISE FOR SOLSTICE
‘Hewson’s inventiveness never flags... the characterization and dialogue are way above thriller norms, and the science is ingenious and plausible’

THE TIMES
'Epiphany'
”Mystery, menace and guilt... building tension to a seismic explosion”
