Seller's Description:
New in As New jacket. Book 1st edition, so stated, with complete letter line beginning with A. Fine, unread copy in dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. Maroon binding with red lettering on yellow spine. Author is pen name for Jill Staynes and Margaret Storey, who also write Inspector Bone novels under the pseudonym Susannah Stacey. This is the third historical mystery set in Renaissance Italy, featuring Sigismondo, a courtier, mercenary and sleuth. Prince Scipione of Viverra is in danger: his vassal Carlotti has claimed the city of Mascia for his own, and the Pope is ready to give the Papal state to another if the Prince proves weak. Not only does the Prince need a victory, but he also needs to discover the Philosopher's Stone to make gold for his empty treasury. When Sigismondo arrives from Mascia he brings news of triumph-the Prince's condottiere, Ridolfo Ridolfi, has taken the city-but finds the Prince still in peril. Is it from those closest to him? Is his wife Isotta concealing an affair that threatens the Prince and his state? Does the hostage Donato Landucci want vengeance for his father's defeat? Has Ridolfi turned fickle? What about the mysterious alchemist, Doctor Vergilio or the celebrated holy friar Brother Ambrogio, who is using the people's fear of encroaching plague to preach sedition?
