The abomination

A mix of Dan Brown and Stieg Larsson. The first book in the Carnivia trilogy. When the body of a woman dressed in priestly robes is found in Venice, Captain Kat Tapo is assigned to the case. As she advances in the investigation, she stumbles upon Second Lieutenant Holly Boland's research into events related to abuses committed during the Bosnian War. Meanwhile, Daniele Barbo, owner of Carnivia—a virtual recreation of Venice—is convicted of online crimes, but he suspects the motive behind the accusation. The three seek answers, but when their suspicions converge, they realize they're involved in something much bigger.
