For Adults
Publication week of The Knife Maker of Venice by David Gilman is here!
To celebrate, Head of Zeus is giving away finished hardback copies to librarians or reading groups who enjoy powerful, epic historical fiction stories with compelling characters to root for.
About the book:
A young Englishman and his sister captured by slavers must survive the snakepit that is seventeenth-century Venice.
‘A page-turner of the highest order, perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden, Dan Jones and Giles Kristian’ Daily Express
‘A proper edge-of-the-seat page-turner… vivid and gripping. A superb novel’ Elizabeth Chadwick
‘Thick with tension, ablaze with fear and thrilling action, yet driven by a love so strong, I couldn’t look away. Gilman has created a mighty evocation of seventeenth-century Venice.’ Kate Furnivall
‘An unforgettable adventure’ Clare Whitfield
‘Relentless suspense against the backdrop of a stunningly realized Renaissance-era Venice’ Boyd and Beth Morrison
‘Fantastic… A dark, compelling story that cuts through like a blade [and] grips from the very first page.’ S.W. Perry
