Overview

Venice, 1605. A city of canals, masks, and secrets too dangerous to speak aloud. Archivist Nora Halewell never expected her family's crumbling library to hold the key to the past. But when a water-stained codex draws her across centuries, she awakens in Renaissance Venice at the height of its power and its treachery. When a gondolier is murdered and a ciphered map hidden in his oar surfaces, Nora finds herself entangled in a deadly conspiracy involving stolen state secrets, faceless spies, and the shadowy reach of the feared Council of Ten. Venetian masks conceal more than faces; they hide allegiances, betrayals, and truths that could tip the balance of European power. With the help of Marco, a gondolier tied to a secret brotherhood, and Lucietta, the Doge's enigmatic niece, Nora must decipher the cipher before it condemns not only Venice but her own life. But in a city where betrayal is currency, who can she truly trust? Perfect for fans of historical mysteries with a touch of intrigue and gothic atmosphere, The Gondolier's Secret is the ninth installment in The Nora Halewell Mysteries, a time-traveling series of archival sleuthing, richly atmospheric settings, and puzzles hidden in the past. What Readers Will Love: A richly atmospheric mystery set in Renaissance Venice. Time-travel intrigue perfect for fans of Outlander and The Da Vinci Code. Ciphers, masks, and secret networks of spies. A heroine caught between history and survival.
