"Un cuaderno de dibujo, tres llaves y un último susurro... Venecia. Esa es la herencia que la tía Lettie le deja a Caroline en 2001, justo cuando su matrimonio está a punto de naufragar. Decidida a cumplir con la última voluntad de la anciana, emprende un viaje para esparcir sus cenizas en la ciudad que tanto amaba y desentrañar los misterios que mantuvo ocultos durante más de sesenta años. En 1938 Lettie acompaña a un grupo de estudiantes para que descubran Venecia, su historia, su arte y su belleza. Es un viaje que resucitará dolorosos recuerdos y la posibilidad de reencontrarse con Leonardo Da Rossi, el hombre al que ama y que es esclavo del futuro que le ha impuesto su familia de orígenes nobles. A pesar de las dificultades, su amor florece de nuevo hasta que la amenaza de la guerra llega a Venecia y ambos se ven obligados a luchar para sobrevivir y defender un secreto que los unirá eternamente."--From back cover

Tardará muy poco en descubrir que hay quienes prefieren no remover el pasado, pero ella ha llegado ya demasiado lejos como para no desenterrar los secretos...

Wild Irish Rose, the next novel in this beloved mystery series, is cause for celebration for readers and critics alike. NEW YORK, 1907: Now that she’s no longer a private detective—at least not officially—Molly Murphy Sullivan is looking forward to a time of settled tranquility with friends and family. Back in New York, where her own story began, Molly decides to accompany some friends to Ellis Island to help distribute clothing to those in need. This journey quickly stirs up memories for Molly. When you’re far from home and see people from your country, every face looks like that of a family member. That evening Molly’s policeman husband, Daniel, is late returning home. He comes with a tale to tell: There was a murder on Ellis Island that day, and the main suspect is the spitting image of Molly. The circumstances are eerily similar to when Molly herself arrived on Ellis Island, and she can’t help but feel a sense of fate. Molly was meant to be there that day so that she could clear this woman’s name.
