Death and Restoration: Art History Mystery, cartea 6

Autor Iain M. Pears
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2003 – vârsta de la 18 ani
General Bottando can't believe his rotten luck. He has just been promoted--to a position that's heavy on bureaucratic duties-but disturbingly light on investigative responsibilities. As if that wasn't annoying enough, he's received a tip about a planned raid at a nearby monastery.
