From the writer of the acclaimed nationwide bestseller Amagansett comes an even more remarkable novel set in the Tuscan hillsides: the storyline of two murders, 500 years apart-and the ties that bind them jointly.
Adam Banting, a slightly aimless young scholar at Cambridge University or college, is called to his professor's office one evening and assigned a particular summer job: to create a scholarly monograph in regards to a famous garden built in the 1500s. Dedicated to the memory space of Signor Docci's inactive wife, your garden is a mysterious world of statues, grottoes, meandering rills, and traditional inscriptions. But during his three-week sojourn at the villa, Adam involves suspect that clues to a murder are buried in the bizarre iconography of your garden: the long-dead Signor Docci most likely killed his partner and filled her memorial garden with ideas as to both method and the motive of his criminal offense.
As the secret of your garden unfolds, Adam sees himself attracted into a parallel intrigue. Through his innovating relationship with the lady of the house-the ailing, seventy-something Signora Docci-he sees clues to another possible murder, that one a lot more recent. The signora's eldest boy was taken by Nazi officials on the 3rd floor of the villa, and her man, now inactive, insisted that the area be covered and preserved permanently. Just like the garden, the third-floor rooms are freezing with time. Delving into his subject matter, Adam starts to suspect that his summertime project might be a installation. Is he actually just the na?ve university student, stumbling upon clues, or is Signora Docci using him to discover for herself the real so this means of the villa's murderous past?
