About this listen

The Sleeping Nymph: a work of art, of magnetic beauty, painted by a young partisan fighter during the last days of the Second World War. A painting carrying a shocking secret hidden in the red pigment on the canvas, made with the blood of a human heart.

But whose heart?

There is no body, no confession. Only that faint trace of blood. And that"s what leads Commissioner Teresa Battaglia - herself hiding an unspeakable truth - to the Resia Valley, in the north-eastern part of Italy: a perfect genetic enclave protected for centuries from the outside world.

The valley and the portrait are the only clues for a murder that occurred more than 70 years before. A red thread leading to the shadow of someone hell-bent on protecting a sacred secret.

Takes crime fiction to a new level

I thought that Flowers Over the Inferno was exceptional and could not be bettered but I was wrong. For me, Painted in Blood, took crime fiction to a new level. A complex and compelling story; characters, finely drawn and multi-layered; beautifully narrated. A feast of a novel, to be enjoyed again one day.
