Dymocks Luncheon for Jonathan Biggins

Tristan Barclay, art historian and tour leader, is reluctantly embarking on his last tour of Europe. He is secretly planning a ‘grand gesture’ for his final bow. One that will shock the world. A group of his older travellers, with an average age approaching seventy but a surprisingly diverse skillset, sign on to help - and find themselves caught up in a high-stakes heist where danger lurks around every ornate column. Near Death in Venice is set in the great art galleries of Europe. Sparkling dialogue, glorious settings and a riveting, laugh-out-loud, twist-filled plot make this novel a delight from start to finish.
