Benedetto Casanova - the Roman Diaries (Volume 2) Marten Weber

After following the famous Giacomo Casanova through Europe for ten years, Giacomo?s gay brother Benedetto has settled down in Rome with his German lover. But the Eternal City bores him. He has no work and no friends. His lover is always busy and away on assignments for the Vatican secret service. Alone in a big new house, he is desperate for distraction. Just when idless and unfulfilled lust threaten to get the better of Benedetto, Carl Anton accepts an exciting secret mission to Portugal. Preparations for the long journey are in full swing when the head of the mission, a young priest, disappears, and the mutilated bodies of two young men are found. The couple is thrown into an adventure which tests their love like none before. Marten Weber spent years researching life in Rome in the 18th century and in the second book of the Benedetto Casanova cycle delivers both a fascinating and accurate portrait of the city and a riveting tale of love, madness, danger and devotion.
