Loretta Groombridge had no idea she would be offered a job and find a friend in the same freezing month while living in Venice. She had no idea that Franz Kafka would enter her life. Wait - Franz Kafka? He died between the World Wars. But her new friend was on the trail of some of his papers in Venice; and their rarity and value meant she was not the only interested person. Two men with ulterior motives would do anything to get their hands on the Kafka papers. Loretta is not prepared for robbery, mugging or arson, which come close to taking away everything she has come to love about Venice.

Its characters leap from the pages of literary history to haunt and disturb the present. The lovable Welsh professor Bryn Awbrey returns to entertain, solve dilemmas, and make all readers wish they had an uncle like him.
