Murder, love, betrayal, and some of the world"s most beautiful objets d"art come together in Juan Manuel de Prada"s tempestuous, prize-winning novel set in Europe"s quintessentially enigmatic city: Venice. Alejandro Ballesteros, a young Spanish art historian, arrives in wintry Venice to study Giorgione"s painting "The Tempest," but on his first day there, he witnesses a shocking murder and is propelled into a dangerous web that brings together the city"s rarified academic world and a master forger. With all the complex twists and turns of the city itself, The Tempest is a marvelously erotic, and atmospheric mystery that explores the boundaries between art and reality, intellect and passion.
