Richard Hughes and Philip de Chambray return to a Venice where diplomacy, commerce and private violence operate behind public ceremony. The arrival and activities of a French ambassador place the pair close to negotiations in which personal scandal can be turned into political leverage.

A new investigation forces Richard to use his swordsmanship and Philip to navigate identities that official society refuses to acknowledge. As rival agents compete for secrets, the two must determine whether the apparent crime is an isolated act or part of a wider attempt to manipulate relations between Venice, France and the powers surrounding the republic.
