Readers will need a strong stomach for the torture, rape and murder in this book! Set in Renaissance Italy, we follow Cesare Borgia, Niccolo Machiavelli and Leonardo da Vinci in a fictionalisation of their lives set in a period which sees the birth of The Mona Lisa and The Prince. Some may find the modern, colloquial style a little strange, but the story oozes plenty of bloodshed and horror and it romps along at an entertaining pace.
