It was meant to be a quick trip to Rome. Tour the sculpture foundry. Meet the cardinals. Close a deal with the Vatican. But when Marty and Bo’s enigmatic partner, Natalya, is kidnapped, the stakes turn deadly. Set against the beauty and menace of modern Italy, The Vatican Deal is “an electrifying blend of suspense, intrigue, and razor-sharp wit.”
What begins as a straightforward business venture spirals into something far more dangerous. Flush with funding and confidence, Marty Schott and Bo Bishop arrive in Italy expecting contracts and handshakes—not threats, surveillance, and violence. In Naples, powerful interests circle the foundry they’ve come to acquire. In Rome, shadowy figures within the Vatican’s financial world play a deeper, more dangerous game than anyone admits. And behind it all, their mysterious backers may not be allies at all.
As pressure mounts and loyalties fracture, Marty and Bo find themselves caught between ruthless criminal organizations and powerful global players—each with their own hidden agenda. When Natalya is taken, the danger turns personal, forcing them into a desperate race to uncover the truth before time runs out.
Betrayal. Deception. Survival. In a world where everyone has something to hide, trusting the wrong person could be fatal.
The Vatican Deal is the second book in the award-winning Marty and Bo thriller series. It can be read as a standalone or following Chasing Money. Both books are also available on Kindle Unlimited and on Audible.
