Portrait of a Lady
Diane A. S. Stuckart
The legendary Renaissance man and amateur sleuth is back
in this exciting follow-up to The Queen's Gambit.
As court engineer to the Duke of Milan, Leonardo da Vinci
turns his superior mind to a variety of pursuitsfrom
painting to solving the occasional murder. After the deaths
of two female servants, Leonardo asks his apprentice, Dino,
to go undercover disguised as a woman in the service of the
Duke's ward, Contessa Caterina. This should be easy enough,
given that "Dino" is in reality Delfina, a young woman
masquerading as a boy to serve as Leonardo's apprentice.
Delfina is soon torn between her loyalty to Leonardo and her
growing feelings for Gregorio, the handsome captain of the
Duke's guard. But if what the Contessa's tarot cards
foretold is correct, Delfina might be destined to lose her
heart...and perhaps her life.
