Benvenuto Gismondi is sitting on his horse, breathing hard and grinning, while looking at Messer Crespi. Crespi is also grinning while laying in the snow with his arms flung wide. The only problem is that the man is not breathing. Gismondi is a murderer and thief, who plans to assassinate his next target - the Duke Cesare Borgia. However, things go wrong when the rumors of Gismodi’s plan reaches Borgia.

Why did Gismondi murder Messer Crespi? Was it a revenge? Why is he also planning to assassinate Lord Borgia? Will Gismondi succeed once again in his evil plan? Find all the answers in Rafael Sabatini’s 1912 novel about murder, espionage and death "Gismondi's Wage".
