2015ril. Quando il papa muore improvvisamente, il cospiratore Ireneo mette in atto un oscuro piano per salire al soglio di Pietro. Per farlo, però, deve prima entrare in possesso del misterioso Vangelo di Gaspare - andato perduto molti secoli fa e contenente un grande segreto che sconvolgerà il mondo cristiano e non esita a farsi aiutare dai membri della Santa Muerte - una setta satanica - per ricattare il Vaticano e portare a termine il suo diabolico progetto. Caedmon Aisquith, esperto dell'ordine dei templari ed ex agente dell'MI5, viene contattato per ritrovare il Vangelo di Gaspare. Ma non si tratta di un semplice incarico di lavoro: se non riuscirà a rintracciarlo, sua figlia prigioniera della Santa Muerte - verrà uccisa. Dall'India alla Spagna fino alla chiesa merovingia nel cuore di Parigi, Caedmon seguirà le tracce del manoscritto, un enigma rimasto celato per ben duemila anni, che cambierà inevitabilmente la storia dell'umanità.
2018br. Un thriller atipico, capace di aprirsi con coraggio anche alla tenerezza dei sentimenti.

La donna viene ritrovata in stato confusionale, vicino al cadavere, con il coltello tra le mani. Il caso sembra di facile risoluzione, ma alcuni particolari non convincono i due poliziotti Teokratis e Panetta. Lavorando sotto traccia, cominciano così a indagare sulle attività del marito della donna, un ricco operatore finanziario. I due dovranno fare i conti con omicidi efferati, personaggi inquietanti, perversioni sessuali, ambienti da incubo e manifestazioni paranormali: una vera e propria discesa agli inferi che porterà Teokratis e i suoi compagni a contatto con i più osceni segreti del male assoluto.
2018br. "Questo è un leone maschio. Chiunque sia stato su un banco di scuola sa che è la leonessa a uccidere le prede. Ricordatelo, nel posto dove stai andando". La pace che regna su Bull Mountain, dopo che lo sceriffo Clayton Burroughs ha ucciso suo fratello Halford, è solo apparente: ora che la montagna e i suoi sentieri sono privi di padroni, molti altri fuorilegge attendono il momento giusto per prendere il controllo dei traffici di marijuana, whiskey e anfetamina, da decenni nelle mani dei Burroughs. Clayton, però, non si è ancora ripreso dalle ferite provocate dallo scontro a fuoco con l'agente federale Simon Holly, e non ha la forza di reagire. Nemmeno l'amata moglie Kate o il piccolo Eben riescono a scuoterlo dalla depressione. La lotta per il possesso di Bull Mountain è appena cominciata, e mette in pericolo la famiglia di Clayton. È Kate a rendersene conto, e a dover combattere con tutta se stessa per salvare la sua casa e la sua terra da un nemico spietato e inarrestabile.
