Bishop returns and nothing is as it appears. Off the coast of Norway an abandoned container ship is discovered, its crew slain, and the only clue is a photo knifed to a bulkhead. A photo of Charles Bishop with a note that reads, "It's all my fault". Bishop leaps into an investigation that takes him from the frozen climes of Scandinavia, to the sun-drenched shores of Venice and the chaotic streets of Istanbul for a final fatal encounter. With his own personal history catching up with him in the most violent way possible, Bishop will be forced to confront his past to save the present. An all-out adventure with fast-paced dialogue, with deception at every turn, Venetian Blonde is unputdownable.
