Title : The Borgias' Golden Chimera - Juliette Benzoni - book

Summary :

Between Venice and Paris, the new adventures of the Venetian antiques dealer prince Aldo Morosini in search of the fabulous chimera of gold and emeralds that Cesare Borgia considered his talisman...

While the Titanic is sinking and panic reigns on board, a beautiful young girl murders, to steal her jewels with incredible audacity, a very rich passenger: the Marchesa d'Anguisola, née Belmont. A chambermaid, Helen Adler, saw her leave with her loot but is unable to find her... No more upon returning to New York and, thinking that the murderer could have remained among the victims, she ends up forgetting.

Twenty years later, in Paris, the Renaissance jewel collection of Van Tilden, a wealthy American who has just committed suicide in his castle in Touraine, is being sold. Aldo Morosini has brought to this sale a picturesque Texan client, fabulously rich, in love with Lucrezia Torelli, a singer who claims to be descended from the Borgias and wants Caesar's Golden Chimera found for her, which is unlikely to be resurrected because it belonged to the Marchesa d'Anguisola and must lie somewhere at the bottom of the Atlantic. However, the sale is interrupted at the request of John-Augustus Belmont: she is offering two of the jewels of Madame d'Anguisola, her aunt. And the Chimera should have been there...
The next day, Helen Adler, who has become Pauline Belmont's maid and who has identified the murderer in a newspaper, is left for dead. This is the first blood in a dramatic adventure, but others will come that could lead Morosini to his downfall...
