Description
In winter 1536, Renaissance Florence is shaken by the murder of a prominent Jewish moneylender, a crime with consequences reaching far beyond one household. Cesare Aldo, a former soldier serving in the city’s notorious criminal court, has only four days to identify the killer—while uncovering a conspiracy that threatens the volatile Duke Alessandro de’ Medici and the stability of Florence itself. As political intrigue, religious tension, and ruthless ambition collide, Aldo must also protect secrets from his own past that a determined rival is eager to expose. Set against a richly realized city of power and peril, this gripping historical thriller explores justice, loyalty, identity, and the dangerous cost of vengeance.
