About this book

In London, the beautiful, mysterious Countess Narona, a woman with a doubtful reputation, marries Lord Montbarry, who has broken off his engagement to a gentle Irish girl, Agnes, for her sake. Months later Montbarry dies in an old palace in Venice, insured for a large sum, and his English servant vanishes. When the palace becomes a hotel, members of the Montbarry family who stay there suffer strange nightmares, and Agnes is drawn to Venice to discover the truth.
