Venice called to Urbina MacIntyre - intoxicating him with a blend of majesty, history and decay. Strolling past her magnificent palazzos and picuresque canals, the expatriate American writer knew he could love none other - and vowed to remain always. But now the elegant tranquility of his chosen city has been shattered by mayhem and murder. The bizarre theft of the corpse of a thousand year old virgin saint and the brutal slaying of a devout washerwoman thrust Urbino into the heart of a strange and sinister myster - leading the inquisitive author down a twisting perilous trail that winds toward almost certain doom among the disinterred dead on the Isle of Bones.
