The Rome Trilogy

Meroni – The Rome Trilogy

Detective Luca Meroni doesn’t just chase killers – he hunts the truth in a world of lies.

From Vatican bombings and mutilated corpses to sadistic killers and cryptic messages written in blood, Meroni finds himself drawn into conspiracies that span the generations. Each fresh case reveals an additional layer of betrayal – British Intelligence, the Camorra, and even his own family, lovers, and longtime friends are part of the subterfuge.

The Cause of All Fear – Meroni uncovers a wartime secret that could destroy everything.

Nothing Can Be Loved – A killer priest stalks the daughters of Rome’s elite, and Meroni must hunt alone to avenge them.

Make Thick My Blood – Meroni faces being framed for a murderous assault and must confront the enemy within to prove his innocence. (COMING MAY 2026!)

Set amongst the dark shadows of modern-day Rome, the Meroni Trilogy is a blistering blend of noir, psychological suspense, and moral reckoning.

Because when your world is a lie, the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.
