EBOOK
About
On the eve of Il Porto gallery's opening, Kate Fujimori leaps across Venice's rooftops-an easy routine for an expert cat burglar like herself. But, her well-planned heist of the gallery's featured painting, a famed Mona Lisa forgery, goes uncharacteristically wrong. It's not long before, Kate realizes her headaches are only just beginning.
A rival gang of thieves after the same target always seems to be one-step ahead of Kate. To make matters worse, her accomplice, Freddy Doloreux, an impeccably prepared associate, has succumbed to his extravagant, high-priced lifestyle. Faced with some compromising debts, he accepts a contract on the side-with an assassin commissioned to kill Kate.
As usual, the headstrong Kate ignores her astrologer's warning: to beware a dark stranger who lives on water. Instead, she falls into a heavy flirtation with a handsome (and dark-haired) Venetian who has a passion for American films, and attractive women. The mysterious Italian turns out to be not only Venice's police detective, but a man on the rebound, doubly dangerous for Kate. As the gallery opening quickly approaches, Kate becomes a wanted woman-by the police, the assassin, the rival thieves, and the charming detective.
Venetian Holiday is an enchanting caper of mystery and misadventure; love, locals, and the delightfully unsavory characters that one can find only in Venice.
