The German Baron and the Italian Count were firm friends, but friends with a history. 

A long-ago love triangle threatened to tear them apart, but in the end was apparently happily resolved, and cordial relations were resumed. 

But one of them harboured a grudge, a secret desire for revenge. Was this revenge ever fulfilled? And, if it was, was it murder? Could it even be the perfect murder?

Set in the atmospheric world of 19th-century Italy and based on an ingenious tale told within Robert Louis Stevenson's novel The Master of Ballantrae, this promises to be much more!
