When the disgraced Lord Byron is associated with the deaths of women in Venice, he turns detective to clear his name. A dazzling, riveting historical mystery by the author of the Sunday Times bestseller, The Fascination. Fiction can be fatal... Living in exile in Venice, the disgraced Lord Byron revels in the freedoms of the city But when he is associated with the deaths of local women, found with wounds to their throats, and then a novel called The Vampyre is published under his name, rumors begin to spread that Byron may be the murderer... As events escalate and tensions rise - and his own life is endangered, as well as those he holds most dear - Byron is forced to play detective, to discover who is really behind these heinous crimes. Meanwhile, the scandals of his own infamous past come back to haunt him... Rich in gothic atmosphere and drawing on real events and characters from Byron's life, Dangerous is a riveting, dazzling historical thriller, as decadent, dark and seductive as the poet himself.

This is a very atmospheric and dark story, eerily gothic in its telling. I loved the setting! Venice is an extraordinary city. Fiction is combined with fact to treat the reader to a fantastic tale of intrigue and adventure. Cleverly written to include certain poems and writings by Byron and presenting some fascinating real life as well as fictional characters, ‘Dangerous‘ is an exciting and engaging historical mystery which is sure to enthrall.
