«La Tempesta» is the mystery novel by Juan Manuel de Prada, published by E/O in paperback (352 pages, in Italian).
In a wintry, flooded, snow-covered Venice, young art professor Alejandro Ballesteros investigates an enigmatic painting by Giorgione. In four days he witnesses the murder of a famous forger, falls in love with an exceptional woman, and deals with sinister characters, in a city where art and life blur and nothing is what it seems.
Originally published in Spanish as «La tempestad», it won the Premio Planeta in 1997. This 1998 Italian edition includes the translation by Stefania Cherchi.
For readers of mystery and literary fiction who enjoy plots set in Venice with echoes of Renaissance painting.
