One Way to Venice
by Jane Aiken HodgeIt began with the anonymous letters that came soon after Julia Rivers had given up the search for her lost child. Taunting, teasing, full of hate, they reminded her of that dark time back in Charleston, South Carolina, as a young bride when an unknown enemy sought her death and, failing in that, succeeded in destroying her marriage to handsome Breckon Rivers, heir to the great plantation of La Riviere. Now, divorced, back in London, and resettled in her comfortable career as administrative assistant to a brilliant security specialist, Julia still feels the pull of that past life. And when the letters tell her her small son, Dominic, is alive in Venice and then supply her with "one-way" bookings to follow their lure-Julia is helpless to resist. Although the boy is clearly in Venice-a snapshot of Dominic looking out from behind the elaborate grillwork of a Venetian garden convinces her of that-he and his captors elude her. Day after day Julia rides the vaporetti in patient search of that wished-for face, until consumed by desperation, she fails to notice the terrible danger into which she herself has drifted.
