The Vatican Chronicles
A three-volume historical mystery series exploring the secrets buried beneath centuries of faith, power, and forgotten history.

The Mystery of Julia Episcopa
An Ancient Secret. A Buried Parchment. A Historical Vatican Mystery Two Thousand Years in the Making. In ancient Rome, a woman flees for her life. Her enemies are those she once called brother. Hidden beneath her cloak is a secret men will kill to erase. Julia Episcopa once walked with the apostles and stood as an equal—until betrayal forced her into exile. Branded a heretic, she carries proof that could change history forever. If she is caught, not only will she die—but so will the legacy she protects. Two thousand years later, deep in the Vatican archives, archaeologists Valentina Vella and Erika Simone uncover a parchment—its words altered, its origins buried. As they piece together its mystery, powerful forces close in. Because some will do anything to keep the past hidden. From the eruption of Vesuvius to the shadowed vaults beneath St. Peter’s, The Mystery of Julia Episcopa is a sweeping dual-timeline historical mystery of conspiracy, cover-up, and secrets written out of history.

When the lie is two thousand years old, who, exactly, will the truth set free? While analyzing parchment fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls, grad student Susan Bauer pieces together text that indicates the existence of a stolen Secret Temple Scroll that was penned decades before the gospels. If discovered, this document could free the Jewish people from the centuries’-long blemish that they are responsible for Yeshua’s death. It could also turn Christianity on its head. From the basement of the Israeli Museum to a basilica in a picturesque French village to the ruins of Herculaneum, ex-Mossad Yigael Dorian and blacklisted archaeologists Valentina Vella and Erika Simone journey on a transcontinental chase, dodging thieves, kidnappers, cardinals, and enlisting mobsters to uncover the truth behind this rumored scroll. It is the writer of this document, however, who has the final word in a mesmerizing depiction of life in the Galilee alongside Yeshua. From the writers of The Mystery of Julia Episcopa, comes Book II in the Vatican Chronicles series: The Anonymous Scribe

Silent Mistresses
A Vatican Bank cover-up. A devout whistleblower. A Church with everything to lose. Sister Maria Caruso was sent to the Vatican Bank to modernize its systems—not to unearth secrets worth killing for. But when a €30 million discrepancy leads her to a web of hidden accounts, she stumbles onto something far more dangerous than embezzlement. The money was only the surface. What it concealed runs far deeper. For decades, powerful men within the Church have used secret funds to protect private sins—names that must never be named, affairs that break more than vows—a history the Vatican is willing to bury—along with anyone who gets too close. As Maria begins to pull on the thread, she becomes a target. Trapped inside the very institution she once trusted, her only weapon is the technology the Church has long dismissed. Her only choice? Stay silent and survive—or expose the truth and risk everything. Silent Mistresses is a razor-sharp thriller of power, corruption, and the price of loyalty in a world built on secrets.
