Nothing Can Be Loved

A Detective Luca Meroni Crime Thriller (The Rome Trilogy Book 2)

Five women are dead. One killer priest is on the loose. 

Detective Luca Meroni is back – haunted, hunted, and alone.

On his first morning back at the Questura di Roma, Meroni is called to the Monti Palace Hotel. Contessa Sofia Casaldi lies dead in her bath. In her hand: a pentacle charm. Written on the mirror in blood – a cryptic message … One month earlier, the Contessa’s daughter Luisa had died in an alleyway from a morphine overdose. But she wasn’t an addict; she was a leading cancer doctor, grieving the deaths of her closest childhood friends.

As the body count rises and the connections deepen, Chief Inspector Gambarella orders Meroni to shut the case down.

Someone powerful is controlling the narrative – somebody who doesn’t want the truth exposed.

To avenge the girls’ deaths, Meroni must break the rules – fighting against his enemies within the police, and the ghosts of his failed football career.

But time is running out.

And the killer is about to strike again – only this time Meroni is the intended victim …

Is this the will of God – or the work of the Devil?
