The Vivaldi Cipher is the first book in the Vatican Secret Archive Thrillers series. In the mid-18th century, a famed violinist learned of a ring of art forgers who replaced the Vatican’s treasures with fakes. Three hundred years later, a Mafia don tells a priest of forged paintings in the Vatican Museum. Father Michael Dominic, prefect of the Secret Archives, is on the case to investigate. He finds a cipher hidden in an old composition from Vivaldi. However, the Camorra, a centuries-old Italian Mafia clan, don’t want him stopping their operation. He’ll need to work fast or the Church’s artworks will be lost.

The Magdalene Deception is the first book in The Magdalene Chronicles series. Everyone knows about Jesus’ resurrection and it is the cornerstone of Christian faith, but a new clue hints at an alternate account which could change everything. Jesuit priest Michael Dominic will team up with an investigative reporter to defy the Church’s elite and find out the truth. The pressure builds to stop them and the Vatican may resort to extreme measures to do so.
