Venice, 1605. A city of canals, masks, and secrets too dangerous to speak aloud.
Archivist Nora Halewell never expected her family's crumbling library to hold the key to the past. But when a water-stained codex draws her across centuries, she awakens in Renaissance Venice at the height of its power and its treachery.
When a gondolier is murdered and a ciphered map hidden in his oar surfaces, Nora finds herself entangled in a deadly conspiracy involving stolen state secrets, faceless spies, and the shadowy reach of the feared Council of Ten. Venetian masks conceal more than faces; they hide allegiances, betrayals, and truths that could tip the balance of European power.
With the help of Marco, a gondolier tied to a secret brotherhood, and Lucietta, the Doge's enigmatic niece, Nora must decipher the cipher before it condemns not only Venice but her own life.
But in a city where betrayal is currency, who can she truly trust?
Perfect for fans of historical mysteries with a touch of intrigue and gothic atmosphere, The Gondolier's Secret is the ninth installment in The Nora Halewell Mysteries, a time-traveling series of archival sleuthing, richly atmospheric settings, and puzzles hidden in the past.
What Readers Will Love:A richly atmospheric mystery set in Renaissance Venice.
Time-travel intrigue perfect for fans of Outlander and The Da Vinci Code.
