From the author of Trinity Fields comes a chilling and beautifully crafted mystery.

Imagine a scene of rural serenity, a night scene. Imagine a solitary ranch high in the mountains: silence, starlight, a man and a woman asleep. Who would expect such tranquility to be so brutally shattered by the night visitors.

When Grant hears of the campaign of malice being waged against his only living relatives, he abandons Rome and a crumbling marriage to do what he can to stop it. His brash confidence is quickly bruised as the night visits explode into violence, and the death of Giovanni Trentaz, a dear family friend found ritually mutilated in a primeval gorge above the ranch, takes on a new meaning.

When his aunt presents him with Giovanni’s legacy – an old cigar box filled with letters, photos and seemingly endless knick-knacks – he finds himself in possession of a puzzle that holds the answers not just to Giovanni’s death, but much more…

Bradford Morrow’s Giovanni’s Gift restores the thriller to its classical roots: the myth of Pandora’s box has never before been rendered with such intensity and dark beauty.
