She follows the clues. They follow her every move.

A Nevada Kive Thriller

The truth lies buried beneath centuries of secrets...

In the ancient streets of Rome, private investigator Nevada Kive takes on what appears to be a straightforward case: locate the descendants of a missing cardinal. But when she uncovers a cryptic ransom letter hidden among forgotten archives, Nevada realizes she's stumbled upon a conspiracy that reaches into the highest chambers of the Vatican itself.

Teaming up with her partner Ezra Noln, ex-MI5, and Lucia, a determined journalist with personal ties to the vanished cardinal, Nevada follows a trail of clues that leads them deep into Rome's underground catacombs, secret libraries, and chambers untouched for centuries. As they piece together the mystery, they discover the existence of the "Codex Veritas" – an ancient manuscript with the power to challenge the very foundations of the Church.

But powerful forces will stop at nothing to keep these secrets buried.

The Custodes Veritatis, a clandestine society operating within Vatican walls, shadows their every move. Led by the ruthless Bishop D'Amico, these guardians of Church doctrine will eliminate anyone who threatens to expose their centuries-old deception.

When Nevada's trusted friend Marco betrays her, she realizes the conspiracy runs deeper than she ever imagined. With unlikely allies – a former Swiss Guard, a brilliant archaeologist, and a skeptical police inspector – Nevada and Lucia race against time to uncover the truth.

What begins as a missing person case transforms into a deadly quest that will:

• Expose long-buried Vatican secrets
• Unravel a web of betrayal spanning generations
• Challenge everything history has taught us about faith

In a heart-stopping climax beneath the sacred city, Nevada must confront not only the dangerous Custodes Veritatis but also her growing feelings for Rafael, a mysterious ally with secrets of his own.

Perfect for fans of Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series, Steve Berry's Cotton Malone thrillers, and readers who love historical mysteries with strong female protagonists. ROMAN RANSOM combines pulse-pounding action with meticulously researched historical intrigue that will keep you turning pages late into the night.

Uncover the truth. Challenge history. Survive the conspiracy.

ROMAN RANSOM is the first book in the electrifying Nevada Kive thriller series.
