Corruption

by Nicholas Mosley

In a narrative that probes far beneath the surface of ordinary human experience, Nicholas Mosley tells the story of the tragic love between Kate Lambourne and Robert Croft, a love that twisted itself into a corrupted fantasy of mingled passion and hate, and nearly wrecked three lives.

Reviews

[Kathy Piselli]

Well written, a bit creepy, and Venice is always a good backdrop for corruption! The riot scene toward the end was completely gripping and perfectly matched Robert's frame of mind.
