Publisher's summary

A riveting thriller ignites with a time-spanning love story. Perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Diana Gabaldon, Neil Gaiman or David Mitchell.

A 400-year-old murder. A disembodied whisper: "Amore mio." My love.

Nick and Julia O'Connor's dream trip to Venice collapses when a haunting voice reaches out to Nick from Tintoretto's Paradise, the world's largest oil painting.

Though Julia worries her husband suffers from a delusion, Nick is adamant the voice belongs to a woman from the 16th century—his soul mate from a previous life. He discovers a religious order that has developed a method of extracting people's souls, which they imprison in Paradise. Over the centuries, they've judged thousands of souls and sentenced them to eternal purgatory.

As infatuation with the past clouds his commitment to a present-day wife, Nick must right an age-old wrong—destroy the painting and liberate his soul mate. But freeing her would allow all the souls to be reborn.

The order will never let that happen.

Wow wow wow!

This book is SO good! Action, mystery, romance, art, history. It's all packed in but never feels overbearing. It's an amazing story told by an equally incredible narrator! How the narrator was able to do so many voices and accents is beyond me. With the storyline over two centuries it's like you get two books for the price of one. This book would make an awesome show or movie. I felt like I was listening to one. Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Apple TV, take note!
