Publisher's Synopsis
Breathtaking. Suspenseful. Based on True Events.
In the Nemi grove, beside a crater lake near Rome, Italy, a dead woman is discovered-right where the greatest temple of an ancient goddess once stood and where two mysterious ships of the notorious Emperor Caligula were uncovered. Although these ancient vessels were mysteriously destroyed in 1944, it appears their fate during World War II may be connected to the woman's death today. Soon, it becomes clear that no history book reveals the whole truth.
A breathless search for a killer begins in this enchanted valley. Encircled by oaks and cypresses, Lake Nemi-long rumored to be a place of ghosts and legends-provides an atmospheric backdrop for this thriller inspired by genuine historical research.
For readers who love suspense, Italy, and the rich tapestry of ancient Roman history, this captivating story is a must-read.
"An atmospheric novel, rooted in authentic events."
"As gripping as Dan Brown."
"Expertly researched, compelling in language and narrative."
