Bolt from the Blue: a Leonardo da Vinci Mystery
by Diane Stuckart
The Duke of Milan employs Leonardo da Vinci as his court engineer. With war in the near future, Leonardo is going to manufacture his latest invention, a human-powered flying machine. He has hired a wood craftsman from a neighboring town to build his machine. The craftsman is the father of Leonardo's apprentice, Dino. Readers of this series, know that Dino is really Delfina. Delfina is masquerading as a boy to be able to follow her passion for painting. Dino's father disappears. At the same time the unfinished flying machine is stolen and another apprentice is murdered. Dino and his fellow apprentice follow the trail of the machine. Has friend or foe stolen the machine? Dino leads the apprentices in a rescue of his father and the flying machine. Where is the Master while all this is happening? Will Dino need to be rescued? Will the Master learn his secret? Nice light mystery.
