Entertaining New Novel Follows Mystery of Silver Cups

"Cellini's Revenge" to Be on Display at Frankfurt Book Fair's Combined Book
Exhibit

BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Follow one woman as she seeks to
exonerate herself from a brutal crime in the pages of "Cellini's Revenge"
(published by iUniverse), the new mystery novel by Wendy Bartlett that
combines intrigue, suspense and history.

In 1956, American Catherine Evans returns home to find that her English
husband, David, has been murdered. When her fingerprints are discovered on the
knife lodged in his side, she is taken to trial and spends the next 12 years
in Holloway prison.

Decades later, in 1995, when Catherine is 65, she learns of new DNA technology
that is exonerating many criminals wrongfully convicted. She leaves her home
in Vermont and heads back to England, determined to prove that she had nothing
to do with David's death.

Upon arrival at her previous hometown of Rottingdean, Catherine teams up with
several allies -- including the son of a woman in jail with her, to uncover
the identity of the true killer. In the process, six silver cups are
discovered in her old home, half of a valuable set that is engraved with the
12 astrological symbols.

The silver cups turn out to be an integral part of Catherine's investigation.
However, a sinister man begins to follow her with the intent of procuring the
entire set of cups, which are quite rare and valuable. Flashbacks to
16th-century Italy chronicle the creation of the cups and how they were stolen
from their creator and passed along through the centuries.

Full of twists, turns and surprises, "Cellini's Revenge" is sure to entertain
readers of mystery novels and both general and historical fiction. Follow
Catherine on her intriguing journey in the pages of this engaging new book.

"Cellini's Revenge" will be featured at the Combined Book Exhibit at the
annual Frankfurt Book Fair, held in Frankfurt, Germany, on Oct. 14-18, 2009.
The event boasts 6,600 exhibitors and more than 300,000 attendees from 101
different countries.
