Author James Raven has turned me on again with this thriller about terrorism in Venice, Italy.  Venice is known worldwide as a romantic get-away, sweet music, mild temperatures, and riding the gondolas.  But the city is ancient, and for generations it has been plagued with terrorist groups.  Mario Scalise is one of the most wanted terrorists in Italy.  He has been behind many anti-capitalist attacks launched by the New Red Brigades in the recent years.  He is currently active planning a major attack on Venice which is revealed in a letter found in an apartment of Enrico Barone, who is found dead.  Armond Cali is the current leader of Venice paramilitary police force, known as the Carabinieri.  He is called at home to come to Barone's apartment as there is something very serious he needs to see. The letter is a threat, or could it be a hoax?  It says there have been a total of 60 bombs planted around Venice which will start with the first bomb due to explode at 0900 the next morning.  This is a stunning, fast moving thriller that will capture you.  James Raven delivers high action and suspense, and a many twists.  Highly recommend.
