Dall’autrice del bestseller Caravaggio Enigma Un grande thriller storico Negli annali che raccontano la storia della Chiesa, il periodo che va dall’inizio alla metà del X secolo è chiamato saeculum obscurum, ovvero l’era oscura. Un periodo in cui il papato, e con esso tutta Roma, è stato in mano alla potente famiglia dei Tuscolani, e in particolare alle donne che ne facevano parte, che ressero il potere con crudele egoismo e sconfinata dissolutezza. Teodora, moglie del senatore di Roma Teofilatto, e sua figlia Marozia, furono in grado di muovere da sole i fili della curia papale, grazie a un sapiente gioco di seduzioni, inganni e congiure. Marozia, in particolare, a soli quindici anni, fu concubina di papa Sergio III, e da lui ebbe un figlio che in futuro sarebbe anch’esso diventato papa. L’incredibile racconto di come una singola famiglia riuscì a insinuarsi nel cuore stesso del potere romano e a trasformare il Laterano in un nido di lussuria e di congiure. La curia romana in preda a lussuria e crudeltà «Alex Connor raggiunge un equilibrio narrativo che si divide tra storia, fiction e caratterizzazione di un elemento spesso tralasciato nei romanzi dedicati agli artisti realmente vissuti: l’interpretazione del loro spirito.» Marcello Simoni «Formidabile. Conquista e seduce il lettore. Spettacolare.» Matteo Strukul «Questo è il segreto del suo successo: dipingere i protagonisti del passato in uno stile attuale come una fiction colma di colpi di scena.» Corriere della Sera «Alex Connor è un’autrice che riesce sempre a inserire nei suoi thriller storici figure femminili di grande spessore.» Vanity Fair Alex Connor È autrice di thriller e romanzi storici ambientati nel mondo dell’arte. Lei stessa è un’artista e vive in Inghilterra. Cospirazione Caravaggio, uscito per la Newton Compton nel 2016, è diventato un bestseller, ai primi posti delle classifiche italiane. Con Il dipinto maledetto ha vinto il Premio Roma per la Narrativa Straniera. La Newton Compton ha pubblicato inoltre la sua trilogia su Caravaggio, composta da Caravaggio enigma, Maledizione Caravaggio ed Eredità Caravaggio; Goya enigma; Tempesta maledetta; la trilogia che comprende I Lupi di Venezia, I cospiratori di Venezia e Venezia enigma; e la Saga dei Borgia: Ascesa al potere, Un solo uomo al potere e Fine di una dinastia.

When the bodies of twin brothers, both successful art dealers, are found stripped naked, necks bound with wire and legs obscenely contorted, their brutal murders are linked to the mysterious disappearance of two paintings by the master Caravaggio. Investigators are confounded and it falls to art expert Gil Eckhart to find the killer before he slays again. As the search for clues takes him from the glamorous skyline of New York to the fetid catacombs of Palermo, Sicily, Eckhart traces the horrific truth behind Caravaggioâ??s dark and bloody secrets, bringing them to life in the present, and finds that in the high-stakes world of art, good and evil are often tarred with the same, blood-soaked, brush.

The city has secrets kept in the shadows. Venice, 16th century. The staggering wealth of Venice contrasts the brutal lives of those in the ghetto. Opportunistic merchants arrive to make their fortune. Deception, malice and perversion thrive, leading to the emergence of a dark society: The Wolves of Venice. Drawn into the Wolves' plots are the innocents – including Marco Gianetti, assistant to Tintoretto; Ira Tabat, a Jewish merchant; Giorgio Gabal, an artist's apprentice; and Giovanni Spoletto, the doomed castrato – all manipulated by the likes of Pietro Aretino, the courtesan Tita Boldini and the spy Adamo Baptista. The lives of these characters criss-cross one another. Their destinies intermingle in a Venice corrupted by spies lingering in the shadows, working for paymasters that change allegiance with the wind. As the betrayals, murders and tragedies continue, will anyone be able to bring the Wolves of Venice to justice? Praise for Alex Connor: 'Alex Connor is a master at keeping the pace moving [and] keeps you turning the pages even though you promised yourself to put the light out fifteen minutes ago!' HISTORICAL NOVEL REVIEW. 'A deep knowledge of the art world is displayed by Connor... The pace is steady with spikes of frantic action... A marvellous twist at the end' CRIMESQUAD. 'A truly superb book... The end is totally unexpected. Highly recommended' EURO CRIME. 'The book sped by and entertained me immensely. I will be without doubt picking up the other books by this author, finding a good thriller writer is hard, finding a great one is nigh on impossible' PARMENION BOOKS. 'Convincing characters and a fast-moving plot lift this above the pack of mystery thrillers centered on an old work of art' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.
