The Road To Urdino byRoma Tearne
In a draughty British prison cell Lynton Rasanagium awaits trial on a charge of terrorism. His crime - the theft of one of the world's most exquisite and mysterious paintings - is both baffling and seductive, and as Ras's barrister Elizabeth beins her investigations, an extraordinary story unfolds.
An exile haunted by the memory of violence, Ras has only a feeling for colour and a helpless love for his child to guide him through lift in an alien culture; he could not have less in common with Elizabeth's chief witness, pampered, amoral Alex Benson. And yet their lives are inextricably entwined, brought together in the idyllic hills of northern Italy by Charles Boyar, his beautiful wife Delia and their young son - and eventually by Ras's own daughter, the ambitious, manipulative Lola. When their charmed existence is brought to a shocking end it becomes apparent to Ras that war's shadow is long and cold, and he has no choice but to take action.
