Praise for Semana Santa:
‘The claustrophobia of an introverted society ... is portrayed with subtle skill: the personal passions come across with intensity and power. Semana Santa is a satisfying full-blooded read’ The Times
Praise for Epiphany:
‘Mystery, menace and guilt ... building tension to a seismic explosion’ Daily Telegraph
Praise for Solstice:
‘Hewson’s inventiveness never flags... the characterization and dialogue are way above thriller norms, and the science is ingenious and plausible’ Sunday Times
Venice 1733: the young Lorenzo Scacchi has just arrived in the city to work for his uncle at the renowned printing press of Ca’ Scacchi. Awed by Venice’s splendour, Lorenzo discovers a world of possibilities he has never before dreamed of. But he finds a darker side too. Ordered by his uncle to chaperone a beautiful and gifted violinist who cannot openly reveal her identity, Lorenzo is drawn into a dangerous game of deception, with horrifying consequences.
More than 250 years later, a young Englishman, Daniel Forster, comes to Venice for a summer job and is immediately seduced by the city’s beauty and exoticism. Cataloguing a library in the Ca’ Scacchi, Daniel discovers the manuscript of an anonymous eighteenth-century concerto. Soon he has become involved in an elaborate scam, leading to a vertiginous spiral of criminal conspiracy and erotic pursuit.
David Hewson brilliantly interweaves two stories of intrigue and corruption, set centuries apart, and eventually draws them together in a stunning double-twist ending. Complex, beautiful, suspenseful, Lucifer’s Shadow is Hewson’s most tantalising and rewarding novel yet.
