Venice, 1604. When rumours of a spectacularly rare and priceless diamond
begin to circulate amongst the gamblers and courtesans of the Venetian
demi-monde, the Levant Company merchant, Paul Pindar, becomes convinced
that the jewel is somehow linked to the fate of his former love, Celia
Lamprey. As his obsession with the mysterious stone grows it becomes
clear that there are other, more sinister forces at play. Is the diamond
real, or is it just a trick to lure him to his ruin?
Unabridged.
