One Night In Venice: Morning Star Series 1

When cruise ship detective John Lochinvar, aka. Lock, disembarks in Venice to investigate a crew member's murder, he uncovers threads of a widespread conspiracy. For months, ships of the PanHellenic Line have been plagued by misfortune-fire, sinking, shipboard illness, and missing persons. Emerging evidence suggests the calamities are related; someone is engineering the attacks. With creditors foreclosing, insurance companies screaming, and maritime officials demanding answers, Lock scrambles to uncover the truth before the cruise line flounders. In the process he identifies the Morning Star as the next apparent target.Aided by Rachel McKean, a stunning EU investigator, Lock tracks killers from the Doge's dungeon to an opulent masked ball and an obscure Renaissance church. While the lives of three thousand passengers hang in the balance, Lock weighs evidence of collusion between the cruise line's primary stockholder and a shady agro industrialist.While the mystery unfolds in widening circles from the sun-kissed coasts of the Adriatic to the musty boardrooms of Rome and Berlin, the trail returns at length to Venice where family names are destiny, feuds last for centuries, and insults never go unpunished.
