Her new best friend, gardener Sally, is suddenly murdered and Claire's interest in why has little to do with the man who actually did the job, more to do with complicated family pasts, the exploration of the Himalayas and rare medicinal plants.

"Paperback, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked. (Near Fine), no spine or cover creases.() A gripping thriller set in Urbino, Raphael's birthplace, Waking Raphael is the story of a restoration - of a painting and of a community. An investigation into a nearly-forgotten war crime is sparked off when Muta, an enigmatic mute woman, stabs a Count, in the process damaging Raphael's painting 'La Muta' which has just been restored. When rumours begin to circulate about Muta the woman - that she lives in the rotting fortress, San Rocco, on the outskirts of town: that she has a secret grudge against the Count: that something terrible happened to her during the war - more and more people begin to worry that the truth will come out. There are many other 'mutes' in this small town - Francesco, the ice-cream maker who knows that to reveal his secret would be to commit suicide, Charlotte, who is incapable of expressing love, Donna, a Canadian TV presenter who 'can't shut up to save her life', but c ID: mon0000065763"
