"The Kiss of Death" by Marcus Sedgwick

Marcus Sedgwick is a great author who writes primarily young adult novels.  His books are beautifully written and create absolutely captivating settings.  Although his books are geared towards teens, most of them are crossover novels that appeal to adults as well.

"The Kiss of Death" is set in a beautifully depicted Venice full of menace and magic.  The storyline itself is not as complex as I at first expected it to be, but there is a great sense of menace that permeates every page.  Like the city it is set in, this book is all about atmosphere.
