Captivating critics and readers, SIGNATURES IN STONE, was the OVERALL WINNER in the DAPHNE DU MAURIER AWARDS for Excellence in Mystery and Suspense Writing - best mystery of 2013
Rome, Italy - Summer 2023 - Pleasure Boat Studio is thrilled to announce the release of the second edition of Linda Lappin's celebrated novel, SIGNATURES IN STONE: A BOMARZO MYSTERY. This captivating suspense tale takes readers on a thrilling journey through the enigmatic Monster Park of Bomarzo, also known as the Sacred Wood, an extraordinary Baroque sculpture garden in Italy. With the 500th anniversary of the park's creation approaching, this edition is accompanied by a magnificent new cover and a series of Tarot card illustrations by Santa Fe artist Carolyn Florek.
Four travelers-an art critic, an aspiring painter, an aristocrat, and a mystery writer-meet in Italy's eerie Monster Park of Bomarzo during the Fascist era. The park's grotesque statues hide an alchemical secret. They point out a pathway to self-knowledge that leads through hell before ascending to the light. Finestone, the art critic, sees the park as a cosmic tool to alter fate, while Daphne, the mystery writer, believes hidden signs and signatures can reveal the future and uncover the truth of past events. When a murder in the park shocks the group, Daphne becomes the prime suspect. To solve the murder and clear her name, she must confront her own demons and read the signs scattered all around her. In solving the murder she'll also crack the code of the Monster Park, and discover the source of its life-transforming power.
