An International Crime Thriller Blending Modern Mafia Noir & Historical Conspiracy
A bomb at the Vatican.
A mutilated corpse at the Colosseum.
A sniper's bullet – and that's just the beginning.
When Italian detective and disgraced undercover cop Luca Meroni discovers a mutilated corpse at the Colosseum, he is drawn into an investigation stretching from wartime Italy to the mean streets of modern-day Rome. What appears to be a random act of violence soon reveals a conspiracy decades in the making. After a bomb threat at the Vatican and a brutal killing in Siena, a trail of bodies exposes a truth someone is desperate to keep buried.
As Meroni navigates shifting loyalties, he uncovers a sinister plot linking British intelligence, Italian police, the Camorra, and secrets hidden since the Second World War.
Fighting criminals is one thing, but it is the women closest to Meroni who hold the darkest secrets. Caught between corrupt officials, Camorra powerbrokers and people he once trusted, Meroni must survive assassination attempts and unravel decades-old betrayals. He must confront his own past as fiercely as the enemies hunting him in the present, before the secrets within his own family allow history to repeat itself.
Because when your world is a lie, ignorance is a curse; and the truth will cost you everything ...
The Cause of All Fear is the explosive first novel in the Detective Luca Meroni crime thriller series, The Rome Trilogy. Rich in authentic Italian atmosphere, this novel masterfully combines the fast pace of a modern police procedural with the deep intrigue of a historical mystery.
