Enlisted by the Italian police Tom teams up with young investigator Valentina Morassi to dig deep into the citys darkest history stretching from an ancient civilization to the sexual decadence of eighteenth-century Italy to the gritty underworld of modern-day Venice. As Valentina and Tom trace the killings through the centuries they uncover a deadly secret that generations have killed to protect: a priceless mosaic known as the Gates of Hell.

Exotic and well-researched The Venice Conspiracy will continue to build Christers name in the hit-thriller genre.
