Description
A painting by the Renaissance artist Carpaccio has disappeared from the collection of the late Lord William Elmley, an Englishman who lived in Venice for many years, and the engaging American art historian Emma Darling is determined to find it.
Art thieves come sniffing and a battle of wills ensues. Emmas new friends Riccardo and Vittoria struggle with her to discover and protect the missing masterpiece. Led by Venice Police Inspector Luigi Dario and aided by Dr. Sam McGregor, she struggles, her bravery sorely tested.
Follow her and her companions as they visit the Lido, Venices island of beaches, the artisan haven of Dorsoduro, raucous open-air markets of the Rialto, and the sleepy island of Torcelloall in search of the painting.
As surely as the gondolas skim the Grand Canal, this gripping book will keep you at the edge of your seat as suspense proliferates with each flip of the page.
Comments
"Emma has replaced Miss Marple in my life! Good for you, Alice!"
Charlotte Jacobs, California
"I absolutely loved the book. Most of the places were familiar to me and the few others, I found with Mapquest. It was like a trip to Venice, and I said as much on my Facebook page. I also appreciate the readable print. Three of my granddaughters visited Venice last summer and I know they'll love the book too!"

"I'm so excited to read Tracking the Carpaccio and to order the other two books of the trilogy."

"Most of all we need to find Signorina Darling!" With those words fromPolice Inspector Luigi Dario I gave my heart to the search for Emma Darling. Building on the literary appeal of Venice as a city of conspiracy and danger, the author took me on a thrilling track following, and losing, the Darling art historian through canals and islands known for hiding secrets. Secrecy feeds the underlying drama of law, art history and family in this thriller.
