A stolen child.

And the literary masterpiece that holds the key to his daughter?s salvation.
Professor David Ullman is among the world?s leading authorities on demonic literature, with special expertise in Milton?s Paradise Lost. Not that David is a believer?he sees what he teaches as a branch of the imagination and nothing more.

The girl has recently been stricken by the same melancholy moods David knows so well, and he hopes to cheer her up and distract them both from the troubles at home.
But what happens in Venice will change everything.
