This is dedicated to the novel by Joseph Kanon. Grace Miller is an American widow living the high life in Venice during the 1940s, where her son Adam joins her after completing his stint in the army. (He was previously a part of the team investigating war criminals.) When he learns that his mother has taken up with an old friend Dr. Gianni Maglione, he forms his own opinions on the romance, and his worst fears come to light when he meets a young Jewish woman, Claudia Grassini, who publicly denounces the high society Romeo as a fiend who condemned her father to death. Kanon lavishly describes the shallow opulence of the upper class, with their glittering balls, exotic foods and wine, yet balances it brilliantly with the undercurrents of society and dirty secrets of the principal characters. With the passionate romance between Adam and Claudia as a catalyst, the story reaches its peak with a brutal murder, and then meanders through the subsequent lies, cover-ups and deceptions, until building to a deadly but understated climax.
This is one of the Novel Cache series where we have tried to match the cache container or hitch-hiker to the title of a book, sometimes a bit of lateral thinking is required to spot the connection!
We hope you have as much fun finding them as we did when we laid them! Most of the log containers are micro buffalo types but there are a few that are big enough for some small swaps.
