American journalist Margaret Fuller plays an important part in BLOOD OF THE LAMB -- though she doesn't appear. Her death in 1850 sets the present-day story in a different direction from that imagined by some of the characters. Mario Damiani, a poet whose work and planning starts BLOOD OF THE LAMB in motion, sent Fuller a small silver box, asking her to protect it. If she hadn't heard from him by the end of a year, she was to take the box to safety. Fuller sailed from Italy and died in a shipwreck off the coast of Fire Island, trying to reach New York. Since none of the passengers and only a few of the crew survived, there's no account of the storm and the wreck. Until now. Sam Cabot has it here for you.
