Death in the Floating City (Lady Emily Series, Book #7) by Tasha Alexander
Years ago, Emily's childhood nemesis, Emma Callum, scandalized polite society when she eloped with an Italian count. But now her father-in-law lies murdered, and her husband has fled, making him the prime suspect. Alone in her empty palazzo, there's no one Emma can turn to for help but Emily, who leaves at once for Venice.
When a fifteenth-century ring is found in the hand of the slain man, the mysteries of the past and present become entwined, and in order to find the murderer, Emily must first unravel the secret of a centuries-old love affair. Her investigations take her through the canals of the ancient city, from opulent palazzi to slums, libraries, and bordello. But the past does not give up its secrets easily, and Emily finds herself stalked by an ominous masked figure, determined to keep her from solving the case at any cost.
