De'Ath in Venice: A Breathless Thriller

By Paul Humber

You wake up in your bed to discover you are handcuffed to a man. He is naked, and you cannot wake him. You cannot wake him because he is dead. You are covered in bruises and have no memory whatever of the night before. And then when the police arrive, your day gets much worse. In this, the third in the De'Ath series, the food-obsessed Pete De'Ath and his sister Emily travel to Venice where they get embroiled in murder, kidnap, and a fraud worth over a hundred million euros in a tale that riffs light-heartedly on the classic novel by Thomas Mann, Death in Venice. Praise for the author: 'Fiction that explodes' - American Fiction. 'Delicious... each of his novels has its own distinctive voice, and reading them is like watching him flex his literary muscles while the critics sigh and swoon.' Zanne Marie Gray, Editor, Book Review. 'Lavishly entertaining and frequently hilarious. He displays the kind of imagination and energy most writers would kill for.' - Book Review Monthly. '...it's either laugh-out-loud funny or painfully true. Sharp observations of relationships and social niceties... cleverly constructed... a good fun addictive read.' - Adhoc
