A black cloak in a dark alleyway, a mask red like blood, and a priest, hanged from the church bell ropes. This is how A Murder in Venice starts. It is a story of murder, betrayal, and unlikely love. When people find the old priest father Satori hanged from the church bell ropes, a rumour starts going around of a killer that hides behind a red bauta mask. A secluded poet and a prostitute try to find out who this 'demon of carnival' really is. But for the killer, this is only the beginning... A Murder in Venice is a novella that draws inspiration from iconic gothic writers such as Edgar Allan Poe and Gaston Leroux.
