About the book
A former priest. A murdered friend. A Church that wants the story tidy.
When Sebastiano Reyes is killed and arranged like a third-century saint, Thomas — eleven years out of the priesthood, living quietly among other people’s manuscripts — is pulled back into a world he left behind. The diocese will call it martyrdom. A letter asks Thomas not to let them turn a death into a lie.
In Rome, the friend who learned the craft from Sebastiano is handed the work of building a cause for the dead man. One is searching for truth. The other is helping bury it — and does not know.
Saint Murders is a contemporary thriller set in Italy, written as a story you can read in a sitting and as a hard question for Catholics, seekers, and Christians who want to stay faithful while asking what they are told to believe.
First in a series that shares a world, not a cast. Each book stands alone.
