By the author of Gorky Park, this is a great historical thriller set in WW2-era occupied Venice. The writer's prose is sparse but very powerful, and the characters are strongly etched in miniature. Spies and collaborators, Gestapo and partisans, and an Italian Lagoon fisherman and a young Jewish girl trying to find their way in the shadows.
