Professor Crispin Leonard, an eminence at Cambridge, faces a debt to his past: unraveling the mystery that surrounds the Renaissance garden of Villa Docci, located south of Florence. This garden, with its intricate paths, streams, statues, inscriptions, and neoclassical structures, holds secrets that Leonard longs to discover. In 1958, a brilliant student named Adam Strickland crosses his path, offering new hope to solve the enigma. Adam travels to Italy invited by Francesca Docci, an old woman, and his life takes an unexpected turn. This novel, from the acclaimed author of 'The Crime of Amagansett', merges an evocative representation of the Renaissance with a story of impossible love and dark murders.
