Investigating a few lost trinkets, Urbino Macintyre discovers a strange murder. Samuel Possle is Venice's oldest expatriate, a reclusive previous playboy whose hedonistic junior would make the perfect subject matter for a reserve - that is if any writer could make him speak. Biographer and amateur sleuth Urbino Macintyre has been striving for a few months to get an interview with Possle, and he is about to give up when his closest friend, the contessa da Capo-Zendrini, offers to create him to Possle in trade for a favour. Worthless items have eliminated missing from her home, and she needs Macintyre to determine if indeed they were stolen or if her brain is beginning to slip. What appears to be an innocuous case will lead Macintyre down a treacherous canal. Interviewing Possle and looking for the contessa's missing baubles draws the detective in to the city's gothic underbelly, where dark statistics appear to lurk around every nook, and the fog conceals dreadful secrets.
