A Renaissance city of lovers. A predator hidden in plain sight. A truth no one wants her to find.
Annabel never expected to find herself in Verona—the Renaissance city of star-crossed lovers, with its elegant palazzos and Gothic towers, and its famous balcony dedicated to Shakespeare's most tragic heroine. As a confirmed cynic, Annabel is sure she's immune to the romantic myths manufactured for tourists, and she's surprised when Italy begins to work its spell on her.
But beneath the gilded surface of the city—beneath the laughter in the piazzas and the soft Italian dusk—someone is in terrible trouble and running out of time. Her companion laughs it off, the locals tell her to mind her own business, but Annabel knows what she saw.
