Fourteen-year-old Rob Vian thought Venice's Carnevale meant gelato, gondolas and glittering masks--until a plague-doctor mask tried to drown him.
Now the Australian teen is stalked through shadowy alleys by the self-styled Spirit of Death. With every narrow escape the masked figure grows bolder, snatching Rob's photograph, threatening his friends and kidnapping famed violinist Signora Gina.
Rob's only allies are quick-witted Luca Gambergini and her exuberant Venetian crew. Together they race from flooded basements to crumbling palazzi, following clues that point to a hidden family legacy--and to a ruthless heir who will kill to keep it.
If Rob can't unmask the villain before the final night of Carnevale, the ancient city--and his own life--will sink beneath dark waters forever.
A pulse-pounding middle-grade thriller packed with Venetian history, runaway gondolas and edge-of-the-seat suspense.
