On a holiday to Venice, Jazmin Dawson and her secret-agent mum Assia hope they can finally find the time to relax. But behind Venice's historic charm lurks a dark underworld, providing the missing link between stolen religious antiques and a body found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge back in London. Naturally, it's up to Jazmin to investigate - when she's not looking after the new twins at the learning centre, who are not quite what they seem...
Jazmin Dawson is Nancy Drew for the Noughties - sassy and sharp with a unique futuristic edge.
