If the Venetian intelligence services recruited me, it certainly wasn't because of the reputation my friend Leonardo had given me as a discreet young woman with an enigmatic smile. Because when it came time to retrieve this scatterbrained fellow from the depths of the Barbary Desert, after his capture by a band of raiders, the mission proved more complex than I had imagined. And, without losing my joie de vivre, I had to bare my claws and fight hard to get him out of this predicament. Veni, vidi, Vinci...! Mona Lisa. Publication date: June 1, 2023. Order now
Aware that my friend Leonardo had a bad reputation for dragging his feet when it came to completing his commissions, I had long ago given up hope of seeing my portrait finished. He probably didn't even remember starting it. Too bad for him. By this oversight, he was missing a unique opportunity to become famous, I would sometimes joke, sticking my tongue out at the mirror and laughing, just to make fun of my vanity.
