At his beloved Nonno Paolo's deathbed, fifteen-year-old Nico
receives a gift that will change his life forever: a yellowing
manuscript which tells the haunting, twisty tale of what really
happened to his grandfather in Nazi-occupied Venice in 1943. A
Times Best Thriller Book of 2022 The Palazzo Colombina is home to
the Uccello family: three generations of men, trapped together in
the dusty palace on Venice's Grand Canal. Awkward fifteen-year-old
Nico. His distant, business-focused father. And his beloved
grandfather, Paolo. Paolo is dying. But before he passes, he has
secrets he's waited his whole life to share. When a Jewish
classmate is attacked by bullies, Nico just watches - earning him a
week's suspension and a typed, yellowing manuscript from his frail
Nonno Paolo. A history lesson, his grandfather says. A secret he
must keep from his father. A tale of blood and madness . . . Nico
is transported back to the Venice of 1943, an occupied city
seething under its Nazi overlords, and to the defining moment of
his grandfather's life: when Paolo's support for a murdered Jewish
woman brings him into the sights of the city's underground
resistance. Hooked and unsettled, Nico can't stop reading - but he
soon wonders if he ever knew his beloved grandfather at all.
