Review: Interesting idea

The writer blends a unique setting (Venice, Italy), a bit of history (Nazi treasure) and an intriguing plot in a very enjoyable novel. He researched his background material quite well. The characters were well-drawn and were all flawed human beings that anyone could believe.The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that he tended to give his characters repetitive emotions--a little too much feeling rage and boiling over with anger. Sometimes it seemed like paralyzing fear would have been more appropriate.I would recommend this novel.
