内容简介 Synopsis
For the first time in decades The Eternal City is paralysed by a blizzard. And a gruesome discovery is made in the Pantheon - one of Rome''s most ancient and revered architectural treasures. Covered by softly falling snow is the body of a young woman - her back horribly mutilated ...But before Costa, Peroni and Rome''s Questura can begin a formal investigation, the US Embassy has brought in its own people, FBI Agents who want the case closed down as quickly and discreetly as possible. But Costa is determined to find out why - and as the FBI grudgingly admits that this corpse is not the first, the mutilations of the woman''s body point to Leonardo Da Vinci''s Vitruvian Man - and to a conspiracy so sinister and buried so deep, that only two people know its true, crazed meaning.
作者简介 David Hewson was born in Yorkshire in 1953 and lives in Kent. He was a journalist from the age of seventeen, working most recently for the Sunday Times. He has also written several novels, as well as a number of travel books. His Rome-based Nic Costa series has been widely praised.
