Federico Andahazi is the author of the sensational world bestsellers “Anatomy” and “The Merciful.” Since the release of his works, each new book has become a genuine sensation!.. Florence, Renaissance. The long-standing and irreconcilable rivalry of two painters’ schools—Florentine and Flemish. Nobility and betrayal. Talent and mediocrity. Life and death. The mutilated corpse of a beloved student of a great Florentine artist is only the first in a series of murders of handsome young men—murders that shocked even Renaissance Florence with their cruelty. Perhaps the motives for these killings should be sought in the maestro’s personal life? Or could what’s happening be connected to the great secret of the “primordial color” encoded in an ancient mysterious manuscript?
