About this eBook

A priest is murdered and a Private agent 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.

Ratings and reviews

I love the Private series. All individual, yet all entwined by the characters that make this Company what it is. Bound by loyalty, friendship and history, they do what is sometimes as rare trait these days...they have each other's back. There is much we can learn from these characters

Far fetched formulaic and too much 'Justine and I' Collaborations are nowhere near as good as Mr Paterson's early stand alone books

great read
