Love and Death In Venice

ROOM 502 is the first in a series of Screen Novels written by a veteran Hollywood screenwriter for the cinema inside your head -- Imagined as movies, written as books, Screen Novels will captivate you from the very first page and keep you riveted until the end.

JACK SANDS - a magnetic, world-renowned investigator of stolen art, is staying in Room 502, his favorite room in a legendary Venetian hotel, to contemplate the end of his broken marriage. Jack lingers well past his check out time to watch the sunset when he’s startled by a beautiful Italian heiress checking into the same room. She invites him to stay for a drink, Room 502 works its magic, and they find themselves entwined in an electric whirlwind of sensual passion that leaves them both hungry for more.

As Jack leaves to settle things with his wife, he vows to return in two days and when he does, the macabre, twisted nightmare that awaits him in that room will shatter his life forever. Confronted with a body on fire on 502’s terrace and the unfathomable disappearance of the heiress, Jack is thrust headlong into the haunting netherworld that is Venice during Carnival time, where masks, madness and erotica conceal a secret so unthinkable, the entire city seems willing to kill him before he can reveal it.
