With The Jewels of Paradise, Leon takes readers beyond the world of the Venetian Questura in her first standalone novel. Caterina Pellegrini is a native Venetian, and like so many of them, she's had to leave home to pursue her career. With a doctorate in baroque opera from Vienna, she lands in Manchester, England. Manchester, however, is no Venice. When Caterina gets word of a position back home, she jumps at the opportunity. The job is an unusual one. After nearly three centuries, two locked trunks, believed to contain the papers of a baroque composer have been discovered. Deeply-connected in religious and political circles, the composer died childless ; now two Venetians, descendants of his cousins, each claim inheritance. Caterina's job is to examine any enclosed papers to discover the testamentary disposition" of the composer. But when her research takes her in unexpected directions she begins to wonder just what secrets these trunks may hold. From a masterful writer, The Jewels of Paradise is a superb novel, a gripping tale of intrigue, music, history and greed http://www.onleihe.de/wallis/frontend/mediaInfo,55-0-399112461-100-0-0-0-0-0-0-0.html Accès réservé - Netzabhängiger Zugriff BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved rero RERO RE11001 RE11001 RE110010018 - - RERO 100 1- Leon Donna 1942- (IDREF)034915796 cre RERO 856 40 http://www.onleihe.de/wallis/frontend/mediaInfo,55-0-399112461-100-0-0-0-0-0-0-0.html Accès réservé - Netzabhängiger Zugriff SWISSBIB 260977934
