Susan came to New York to find love and fulfillment

Prince of Fools

taking him to the labyrinthine backstreets of Rome

But to claim her crown - to save her world and the people she loves - she must confront her past and finally discover the answers hidden within it

right in the centre of a particularly puzzling murder mystery

all young women

with Mason still feverishly writing

and as the city falls apart once more
