Back in Venice after a long absence, Urbino Macintyre pursues a blackmailer For two years, Urbino Macintyre has been away from his beloved city, wandering the streets of Morocco in search of material for his next book.

Nach langer Abwesenheit kehrt Urbino Macintyre endlich nach Venedig zurück. Begleitet wird er von dem jungen Marokkaner Habib, dem er die reizvolle Lagunenstadt in aller Ruhe zeigen möchte. Doch schon nach wenigen Tagen bittet ihn seine gute Freundin Barbara, die Contessa da Capo-Zendrini, um Hilfe: Sie wird von einer alten Frau mit Informationen aus ihrer Vergangenheit erpresst. Urbino verspricht Barbara seinen Beistand, doch dann überschlagen sich die Ereignisse: Die alte Nina Crivelli wird ermordet, und der Verdacht fällt ausgerechnet auf Urbinos Reisebegleiter Habib. Sollte er sich so sehr in dem jungen Marokkaner getäuscht haben?

This is the city of mazes. You may set off from the same place to the same place every day and never go by the same route. If you do so, it will be by mistake. Your bloodhound nose will not serve you here. --JEANETTE WINTERSON, The Passion
