DELALANDE, ARNAUD - The Dante Trap

London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson. 2007, First Edition. (ISBN: 9780297852025). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An As New copy with an As New dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. Translated from the French by Frank Wynne. Venice, 1756: the city is at the height of its prodigious power, but as the madness of Carnival descends, a dark force stalks the gothic shadows. The body of one of Venice's brightest actors has been discovered: crucified, his eyes gouged out and lines of verse carved into his chest. It is not an isolated killing, for the murderer, known only as Chimera, is determined to people the nine circles of Dante's Inferno with the traiterous, the depraved and the gluttonous. Only by releasing the Black Orchid - childhood friend of Casanova, rake, gambler, lover, spy and soon-to-be-detective - a man condemned to death for adultery and awaiting his execution beneath the Bridge of Sighs, can the Doge of Venice hope to put an end to the grotesque killings. L. As New/As New.
