The True Confession of Contessa Coltello (2027)
She's a spy and a seductress . . . but is she a killer?
Tuscany, Summer 1540.
Contessa Valentine Coltello accepts an invitation to celebrate the feast of San Giovanni at the country estate of an old flame. But the gathering is a mask for a covert auction of vital secrets stolen from Venice: the prized techniques for making Murano glass.
The sanction for selling this knowledge is death. As Venice’s spymaster within the Medici dominion, the Contessa has three days to prevent the auction, steal the secrets or destroy them before they change hands. If she fails, her own future is forfeit.
The mission is compromised when a ruthless rival strikes during the festivities, leaving clues that frame the Contessa for murder. Can she unmask the true killer before they strike again, or will Coltello hang for the one sin she has never committed?
The True Confession of Contessa Coltello is a standalone mystery set in the world of D. V. Bishop's Cesare Aldo series.
