Painted in Blood by Ilaria Tuti EPUB



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.
