Rob Swigart

THE INQUISITION IS BACK! AND THIS TIME THEY HAVE TECHNOLOGY. An action-packed unraveling of the secrets of ancient history mixed in with a chilling conspiracy that brings to mind Dan Brown’s bestseller INFERNO. “Swigart is one of the few thriller writers with a poetic sense … [who] knows how to give high velocity to an action mystery.” -San Francisco Chronicle Papyrologist Lisa Emmer’s world flips when the Surete meets her at her Metro station with news of the savage murder of the esteemed Paris historian Dr. Raimond Foix, her friend and mentor in the study of ancient documents. Horrified, Lisa finds clues at the crime scene left behind for her by her mentor—clues to a secret kept hidden for centuries. These clues make her a prime suspect in the murder investigation, and also put her directly in the cross-hairs of a deadly commando group that proves to be none other than a contemporary offshoot of the Inquisition. They want an ancient document that reveals a secret so explosive it could change the world—a document they’ve been tracking for centuries. Led by a sadistic priest and a vicious but very accomplished nun with excellent military cred, their mission is to destroy the document—no matter what the cost in blood.

The Swan and the Star

Ross Connelly

A young American woman goes to Moscow State as the Soviet Union is collapsing, quietly encouraged by American intelligence to build relationships with the Russians who may inherit the country. Instead, she becomes emotionally entangled with the people and country she was sent to observe. In Moscow, Chloe Hunter finds a friend and confidante in Gabby Pasternak, her Romanian roommate, and draws close to Alexi Fedorov, an ambitious young law graduate destined for the Russian Foreign Ministry. As the Soviet world around them begins to unravel, their friendships challenge Chloe’s understanding of loyalty, family, and where she belongs. A chance encounter with Ryan Chandler, an independent American petroleum engineer working in western Siberia, draws Chloe deeper into Russia’s vast interior. When sabotage threatens Ryan’s life in a catastrophic well blowout, Chloe can no longer remain merely an observer. Against the upheaval of a country reinventing itself, Chloe must decide which loyalties are inherited, which are chosen—and who she intends to become.
