  • "Een jonge, wereldvreemde monnik en een hoertje gaan in het Italië van de 15e eeuw op zoek naar het geheim achter Botticelli's beroemde schilderij La Primavera."
  • "Florenz 1481. Eine bezaubernde junge Frau - ein gefährliches Geheimnis ... - ein gestohlenes Gemälde von Botticelli Eine beherzte junge Frau muss um ihr Leben fürchten, als sie dem Maler Botticelli ein Gemälde stiehlt und dabei auf ein gefährliches Geheimnis stösst ... Die bezaubernde Luciana Vetra verdingt sich als Strassenmädchen und gelegentliches Künstlermodell. So posiert sie auch für Botticelli und dessen Bild "Primavera". Als der Maler sie dafür jedoch nicht entlohnen will, entwendet sie eine Miniatur des "Frühlings", nur um kurz darauf entsetzt festzustellen, dass jemand offenbar über Leichen geht, um an dieses Gemälde zu gelangen. Doch was hat es mit diesem Bild auf sich? - Verzweifelt sucht Luciana den einzigen Mann auf, der gegen ihre Reize immun zu sein scheint: den Novizen Guido. Gemeinsam mit dem klugen jungen Mönch flieht sie durch Italien und kommt dem brisanten Geheimnis des Bildes auf die Spur ... Ein unvergesslicher historischer Roman aus dem Italien der Renaissance."
  • ""In the gorgeous, brutal world of fifteenth-century Italy, Luciana Vetra is young and beautiful, with waist-length ringlets of golden hair. She is also a part-time model and a full-time whore. When her best client asks her to pose as the goddess Flora for Sandro Botticelli's painting La Primavera, Luciana is willing to oblige--until the artist abruptly sends her away without payment. Luciana is not usually a thief, but this time she is angry, and cannot resist taking an unfinished version of the painting, if only to look at it some more. But Luciana soon learns that someone is ready to kill her--and nearly everyone she knows--to get the painting back. As friends and clients are murdered around her, Luciana turns to the one man who has never tried to exploit her beauty, Guido della Torre, a novice at the monastery of Santa Croce. Fleeing Florence together, Luciana and Guido race through the nine great cities of Renaissance Italy, desperately trying to decode the painting's secrets before their enemies stop them. Gloriously fresh and vivid, with a deliciously irreverent heroine, The Botticelli Secret is a masterful blend of historical intrigue and romantic adventure."--Cover."
