    [synopsis] => When volatile travel writer Evie Lorrigan arrives in Tuscany to review the agriturismo holiday resort Villa Brocanti, she is infuriated to find the place deserted. With the pool closed for maintenance and no phone signal, she decides to vent her anger by exploring the Brocanti estate. Deep in the woods, she stumbles across a boarded-up ruin of palatial size, the original Villa Brocanti, and she cannot resist the temptation to break in.

What she finds inside is beyond even Evie's imagination. Prevented from leaving by doors with no handles closing behind her, she has little choice but to make her way through one room after another, each decorated with extraordinary trompe l'oeil paintings. Slowly, she is lured onwards and upwards through the villa, only to become trapped in an attic room with the gruesome remains of a man from a bygone era.

Evie knows nothing of the Brocanti family history and is therefore unaware that over one hundred years before, a Brocanti ancestor, the tyrannical Marchese Salvatore Brocanti, had used his artistic brilliance to create a masterpiece of deception to exact jealous revenge on his unfaithful wife. But in his all-consuming rage, the marchese failed to anticipate that others could also be snared, tragic victims of his evil creation.

What Evie does know is that she is trapped in a nightmare with no food and limited water. And no one knows she is there.

An Imperfect Revenge is an eerily claustrophobic psychological thriller about one man's crazed mission for retribution, a mission with tragic consequences still lying in wait more than a century later for anyone who ventures too close.
