The Picture of Dracula (Gordon Spada's Files)

This time the famous Italian Art Dealer Gordon Spada accepts to go to Transylvania, Vampires’ land. His friend, the seducing Countess Anna, has found an astonishing picture that only Spada himself could decipher. A singular artefact hiding something very appalling.
When Spada and his personal butler, Vasari, reach the old manor where the Count and the Countess lives, amidst the Carpathian Mountains, they’re struck by a sequence of disquieting coincidences.
Is the beautiful and fascinating Countess Anna somehow linked with the dreadful Count Dracula?
Spada’s research is interrupted when a worrying fact — maybe artfully created — happens in the building: a murder. The more he looks for the secrets of the manor, the deeper he descends into an extraordinary series of upsetting discoveries regarding Transylvania and Anna’s past.
Struggling to decipher the incomprehensible legacy hidden in the painting and the mysterious death, Spada and Vasari unwittingly release dark forces and an unmitigated evil coming from the darkest pages of Transylvanian history. They will race against an unhealthy obsession for Transylvania’s most dreadful mystery, beginning a manhunt which leads them into increasingly more alarming territory.
If Spada and Vasari are right about their fears, then they are before one of the greatest monsters of their lives.

From the mind of Virgibooks’ Bestselling Author Max Fiorelli comes a thrilling, page-turning adventure where Art, mystery and primordial fears collide.
Max Fiorelli is the Author of more than ten books featuring the adventures of the Italian Art Dealer Gordon Spada. Fiorelli lives in Rome.
