Make Thick My Blood (The Rome Trilogy: Book III)
An Explosive Political Thriller and Gritty Italian Noir
About the Book
A city on edge.
A detective framed.
An enemy hiding in plain sight.
When victims are found drugged and bloodied at the Roman Forum with no memory of how they got there, Italian detective Luca Meroni suspects something far more sinister than random violence. When a shocking video threatens Rome’s political elite and plunges the Eternal City into scandal, the brutal assault on RAI journalist Teresa Conti turns the investigation on its head.
Meroni is named the prime suspect.
With the city turning against him, Meroni is forced into the shadows. To clear his name, he must untangle a treacherous web of political ambition, media manipulation, and corruption.
To survive the final reckoning, he must confront betrayal at the heart of the system – as Rome itself becomes his greatest enemy.
In Rome, power protects its own ... and the truth is no ally.
