Summary

An exciting thriller full of twists and turns set in Venice amidst an atmosphere like a knife to the heart.A series of crimes strikes the Venice area but they are unrelated and there are no motives to explain them. Endowed with a vivid imagination, former astronomer Andrea, now a passionate politician reading pulp fiction and detective novels, casually notes strange indications leading him to suspect David, his partner's son, is responsible. Only one thing is certain: the killer is acting in accordance with the temporal law regulated by the Fibonacci sequence. The one to discover this is Bobo, one of David’s university friends and a brilliant logical-mathematical mind.

    Quinn Delaney thought she'd seen it all, but then her crazy life takes an unexpected turn. 
 
 
 
To find out if a recurring murder-dream has come true, she agrees to investigate the death of a matchmaker who'd rubbed Quinn the wrong way. 
 
 
 
Fortunately, this case comes with perks—a resort vacation and maybe even true love—as Quinn and Toni go undercover as participants in a matchmaking competition. 
 
 
 
With romance in the air, it's hard not to get caught up. Or maybe not, because Quinn is perfectly happy with her single life. Isn't she? There's little time for that debate. She has a killer to catch. 
 
 
 
Unfortunately, the deeper they dig, the more dirt they find. 
 
 
 
Between two competing matchmakers at war with each other, a prankster ghost with his own agenda, and a jilted boyfriend behaving like the king of charm, the sleuths have much to unravel—so why is Toni getting distracted? And why is Quinn the target of nasty gossip and threats? 
 
 
 
Quinn's delusions grow as fast as her topsy-turvy love life. Is she up for the challenge? Or will she retreat to her cafe where life is cozy, predictable, and safe?
