"The Priest and the Gondolier" is a novel by Mervyn Nel. Venice experiences a series of art heists. Paintings are stolen from museums and art galleries. Chief Superintendent, Gina Rossi of the Italian Police and Harry Wilson, an art expert who does freelance work for Interpol in the United Kingdom are commissioned to investigate. As their investigation deepens, Harry suspects that someone within Gina's department is providing the thieves with confidential information. Though they are often in agreement on how to take the investigation further, at times they see things differently. They receive help from two unlikely sources. The first is from Father Mancini, an elderly priest who translated an ancient manuscript from Latin into Italian and the second is from a middle-aged gondolier, Sergio Alfano, who in his youth was Europe's foremost art forger. Together they devise an ingenious plan to trap the thieves. Destined to be a literary classic, "The Priest and the Gondolier" will take your imagination on a fascinating journey through the beautiful city of Venice. The author will guide you through its intricate lanes and canals, letting you see the real, "La Serenissima" or as stated in his own words, a means to experience Venice from a perspective that is anything but ordinary.
