Synopsis: Urbino Macintyre fights to protect the safety of his closest friend Centuries ago, Venice celebrated the Day of All Souls by building a bridge of boats across the canal to the cemetery island of San Michele. As the tourist season winds down, the Contessa da Capo-Zendrini decides it&’s time to revive the tradition, organizing a fleet so the city can mourn once more as it did in ancient times. Her plans are upended, however, when her latest fascination, a rakish playwright named Bobo, begins receiving anonymous threats. She begs her friend, the amateur sleuth Urbino Macintyre, to find out who has been sending the letters, a thankless chore that becomes rather more interesting when Bobo is implicated in a grisly murder. As the day of the contessa&’s black bridge draws closer, Macintyre scrambles to discover the true killer and keep his friend safe. If he doesn&’t act quickly, the contessa&’s journey to the cemetery may be a one-way trip.
