A murder in Savannah inspired John Berendt's previous book, the blockbuster bestseller MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL. This time, the location is Venice, and the 1996 inferno which destroyed Venice's beloved opera house, La Fenice, serves as the touchstone for John Berendt's quirky exploration of the city and its most colorful inhabitants. As the investigation of the fire and the debate over how to rebuild progress, Berendt immerses himself in Venice's murky and occasionally explosive politics and has memorable encounters with artists, aristocrats, and American expatriates, among others. MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL sparked some controversy because it was not strictly nonfiction: Berendt shifted the timeline of events and made other creative alterations. This time, Berendt promises, he has done no such thing, and all persons and events in THE CITY OF FALLING ANGELS are entirely grounded in reality.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
