"A swoon of a read." -Frances Kuffel, author of "Passing for Thin" "Elle Newmark's richly seductive prose brings to life the color and scandal of fifteenth-century Venice. Through Luciano, a street urchin apprenticed to a great chef in the palace of the doge, Newmark tells a wicked tale of political and papal intrigue. In Venice where every whisper is a secret or a lie, Luciano's initiation into the chef's spicy world makes for deliciously suspenseful reading. "Bones of the Dead" is more than terrific historical drama. [It's] beautifully written, authentically detailed, and fiendishly well plotted. It's the kind of book you'll want your friends to read so you can talk about it over dinner in your favorite Italian restaurant." -Drusilla Campbell, author of "Blood Orange" and "The Edge of the Sky"
