dante's trap - chapter 20

Dante and his Divine Comedy are the key to a mystery that haunts the winding canals of Serenissima Venice. Increasingly violent murders ― careful recreations of the punishments in each of the circles of Hell ― frighten the population and challenge Pietro Viravolta, head of the investigation. With the help of Anna, the great love of his life, this fearless adventurer known as Black Orchid must discover the connection between the murders and dismantle a clandestine sect before a greater force is unleashed and the city sinks once and for all into the mists of chaos.
