The Geneva Deception by James Twining

 

Mafia, a secret society and the world’s greatest treasures all come together in The Geneva Deception, James Twining’s latest thriller. It begins with a young man hanging from the Ponte Sant’ Angelo Rome, his pockets weighted down with lead whilst the current of the river below slowly tightens the noose around his neck.

Two days later, Lieutenant Allegra Damico is called in to help offer some answers about the brutal murder of a mafia enforcer found suspended on an inverted cross in Rome’s ancient ruins and with a strange lead object in his mouth. She sees this as a chance to jump start her career, but when another body, that of a senior official of a Vatican backed bank, turns up in similar circumstances, it becomes clear that the killings have more sinister and deadly undertones than first thought. Then after witnessing a murder, Allegra finds herself on the run and betrayed by people she thought she could trust.

Meanwhile former art thief Tom Kirk has agreed to help Special agent Jennifer Browne handle the recovery of a priceless Carravaggio. The painting which was stolen over forty years previously has turned up with an offer to sell it to a Las Vegas casino owner. Jennifer is determined to recover it, but a sniper lies in wait, killing Jennifer. Tom is then accused by the FBI of double crossing and being involved in the shooting so he escapes to Italy. Once there he crosses paths with Allegra and they realise that what they are looking for are connected.

Working together, they uncover a vast and powerful conspiracy stretching form the fields of Italy to the halls of the world’s greatest museums. It is a conspiracy built on the graves of the dead and the blood of anyone who dares stand in its way. Will Tom and Allegra fall victim or be able to bring the conspirators to justice? The Geneva Deception is a fast paced, thrilling and gripping mystery delving into the worlds of art and organised crime.
