A priest is murdered and the new lead agent at Private is the number one suspect. Jack Morgan is in Rome celebrating the opening of a new local Private office, when the party takes a deadly turn. Private agent Matteo Ricci is found at the party standing over the body of a dead priest with a gun in hand, swearing he did not kill the man. As Jack tries to prove Matteo's innocence, he uncovers a much deadlier conspiracy—which leads him straight to the heart of the Vatican. With corruption closing in on all sides, Jack must decide who he can trust before the city falls.

I'm a Sunday Times and international bestselling author and screenwriter. I write topical, thought-provoking novels that aim to entertain, and I love lived research, so the events in my books are often inspired by real events. Before I became a professional writer I was a strategy consultant and advised global businesses in a variety of sectors. I co-founded Capital Crime and am now on the advisory board. I'm also on the board of ITW. I enjoy rock climbing, skiing, sailing and competitive shooting. I live in Mauritius with my wife and our three children. ​
