"A rarity - historical fiction as enlightening as it is entertaining." - Sidney Offit, Curator of the George Polk Awards. "Malcolm Mahr creates this meticulously researched and ingeniously crafted historical fiction drawn from personal interviews in Italy and China with Siro Polo Padolecchia, the last (34th) surviving descendent of Marco Polo." - Gene Hull, Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers. "Two grisly murders are inextricably linked to the past.The murdered body of a Venetian museum's custodian is found floating in the Grand Canal. The victim's family reports that the custodian spoke of repositioning the 600-year-old manuscript of Marco Polo's Travels when a sheaf of brittle papers flaked loose - written by the hand of the famous traveler himself. Five thousand miles away, the body of a senior CIA operative is discovered floating in the Fort Pierce Inlet, tethered by ropes, to keep it from drifting out to sea. Part myth, part legend, the CIA agent was code-named The Venetian because he was the last descendant of Venice's greatest son, Marco Polo." - excerpt from the rear outer cover.
