In The Titian Committee, the two embark on a daring investigation after a member of a famous research committee is found dead in a Venetian public garden.

"[An] elegant mystery. . .but the real work of art here is the plot, a piece of structural engineering any artist would envy."—The New York Times Book Review

"[Pears] writes clearly, persuasively, and with a hand guided by touches of sentimentality as well as mischief."—Chicago Tribune
