Sunk

by L.G. Rivera

"This book haunted my dreams."Travel writer Darwin J. Jones has problems with in every city he visits, they start turning up dead.During and assignment in Venice, Darwin meets Mina, a beautiful heiress with a mysterious agenda. Soon, girls start to disappear, and Darwin suspects that Mina may be a killer – or worse. As Darwin sinks deeper into the labyrinth of Venice, he discovers masked balls, naked flesh, and depravities hidden behind ancient façades. When Mina starts revealing her plans – and Darwin's role in them – he must make a choice between carnal pleasures undreamed of, or saving the innocent and beautiful Sophia – and possibly his soul. Skillfully intertwining multiple layers of mythology, author L.G. Rivera takes you into a mind-bending trip through the maze of Venice, right into the center. Harrowing, hallucinogenic and haunting, the story builds to a climax you will not soon forget."L.G. Rivera's first novel, Dammed, sent travel writer Darwin floating down the canals of Amsterdam. In Sunk, Darwin returns to stir up trouble in the murky depths of Venice's waters. A stand-alone novel in it's own right, Sunk is L.G. Rivera's most deeply disturbing novel yet. Take equal parts of Mann's "Death in Venice" and Harris' "Hannibal" and stir in a sprinkling of Borroughs' Naked Lunch, and you get one hypnotic gondola ride. Recommended."
