Title : The Jewels of Paradise - Donna Leon - Book
Summary :
A masterful investigation conducted in modern-day Venice, brilliantly blending music and suspense, fiction and reality.
Caterina Pellegrini, an Italian musicologist teaching in Manchester, happily accepts a position as a researcher at a foundation in Venice. Against all expectations, the position is not easy. Two cousins are fighting over the inheritance of an ancestor whose succession is said to be decided by old documents to which only Caterina has access. The famous ancestor, a Baroque composer and diplomat, carried out crucial missions at the German courts for the Holy See.
As Caterina becomes fascinated by this man's biography, she uncovers a mystery: could the musician spy have been involved in the most serious murder case of his time?
Donna Leon and Cécilia Bartoli have decided to bring back into the spotlight a genius of Baroque music, Agostino Steffani. The collaboration between these two women is an international event: the novel The Jewels of Paradise and the disc Assignment (Decca) are released simultaneously worldwide.
