Don’t miss this thrilling Medieval crime adventure! Perfect for fans of Lindsey Davis, Steven Saylor and David Wishart.

Rome’s very foundations are under threat…

1506, Rome

The construction of the new Basilica is finally making progress when a shocking discovery is made: St Peter’s tomb, which has housed the saint’s remains for over a thousand years, is found to only contain animal bones.

Immediately the Pope panics – St Peter’s tomb is a central part of the mythology of the Rome, underpinning its legitimacy. If the tomb is a fraud, the entire Church could be undermined.

Scholar Cristina Falchoni’s vast and unorthodox learning may provide a solution, and she is summoned to the Vatican. She immediately dives into Rome’s archives, searching for clues to find the real burial place of St Peter.

But just as she believes she’s found the answer, the body of a priest is discovered with a piece of parchment stuffed in its mouth, dedicating the killing to God.

And when more bodies laid out in a similar fashion start appearing, a battle of competing myths tears Rome in two.

Is a benign St Peter blessing Rome with miracles? Or is the city being punished with a spate murders?

With the help of her brother, Domenico, Cristina is determined to discover the truth…

DEMON OF TRUTH is the third book in the Basilica Diaries Medieval Mysteries series: historical thrillers set in fifteenth-century Rome and featuring a brother and sister investigative duo.

"WHAT MAKES GREAT STORIES TICK?"

My life is spent trying to answer this question.

Because I learnt to write by working on screenplays, I've always been fascinated by structure, genre and the ways in which stories hold our attention. If films and TV dramas are going to work, it's vital they get the mechanics of storytelling right.

Over the last decade I've worked on a huge range of screen and radio projects, from period thrillers to classic adaptations to low budget horror movies. Along the way I've written dialogue for Robin Hood, Isaac Newton, Captain Nemo, King George V, Queen Elizabeth II, Shere Khan, Robinson Crusoe, ghosts, werewolves and drug lords.

Now that I'm venturing into writing novels, I'm hoping to bring all the lessons of screenwriting with me, to create immersive page-turners that will have you hooked from page one!

Let me know what you think...
