Description: "Rumours of the Second Coming of Christ abound in the City of Masks--Venice. Michele Archenti, publisher, former priest and current confidant to the mysterious skeleton-bearer Rodolpho, finds himself swept up in a rising tide of politics, ambition and lust in eighteenth-century Venice. Archenti must navigate the murky political waters and outsmart the new Inquisitor from Rome. In the heady, uninhibited days of Carnival, the signs are ripe: the citizens of Venice prepare for the Second Coming of Christ."--
