The Tempest by Juan-Manuel Prada
A young Spanish art historian arrives in Venice to meet the director of the Accademia Museum and give his solution to the mystery of what Giorgione meant to convey through his picture 'The Tempest' which hangs there. With countless twists and turns, there follows a breathtaking story of art, crime and love against the lugubrious background of Venice in winter. An excellent translation into English of a recent Spanish bestseller.
