Poliziesco, thriller e suspense | Letteratura e narrativa
Welcome, I write conspiracy thrillers set in the art world, which have been published worldwide in many languages. I'm fascinated by art and artists - and the contemporary art business and like to give my readers a new slant on a famous painter, ie. Caravaggio, and tell his story alongside the politicking and machinations of the 21st century art world. Devoted to Italian art and culture I was delighted to win the ROME PRIZE in 2018 for THE ISLE OF THE DEAD - known as IL DIPINTO MALEDETTO. The Caravaggio Saga become a world No 1 bestseller. October 2024 - My new book - I NASTRI DELL'INCUBUS - will be published in Italian. A thriller with an art strand, but taking the reader into darker, psychological waters. I NASTRI DELL'INCUBUS (THE INCUBUS TAPES) 1941 - Psychiatrist Addison Franckel opens a clinic investigating shell shock. Many of the patients' histories are filmed. What the tapes reveal is so disturbing the government has them suppressed. Amongst accounts of sleep paralysis and night terrors, there are rumours of unexplained paranormal activity. Accusations of medical abuse and rumours of missing patients follow, and in 1945 Addison Franckel disappears. 2024 - Researcher Gus Egan begins work for Louis Willes, a historian writing a biography about Henry Fuseli, painter of ‘The Nightmare.’ Willes’s property was once part of the Franckel clinic and as soon as Gus arrives an anonymous contact tells him there are copies of the infamous tapes hidden there. Hindered by the secretive art world, watched by authorities unwilling to have the past resurrected, Gus risks his own life to expose the link between a notorious painting created in 1782 and the harrowing Incubus Tapes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2024 - My last book, published in English, called A WREATH OF SERPENTS, also has an art strand, but it is also a very complex story about kidnapping, murder and how a Gustav Klimt painting could save a hostage's life. THE BORGIAS 20021 - 2003 Taking a different slant, I'm investigating the corruption and politicking at that time in Rome - not just outside the family, but INSIDE as well. In its true that the BORGIAS were seeped in decadence, greed, simony and sexual excess - yet their contemporaries were also villains when it suited them. The likes of Cardinal della Rovere, Savonarola, Machiavelli and Leonardo da Vinci, who became a military advisor to Cesare Borgia. TEMPESTA MALEDETTA was published 23rd July 2020 - Launched in Rome by Newton Compton. 3rd September 2020 HEAD OF ZEUS, in London, published THE WOLVES OF VENICE, Book Two and Book Three published in 2020 and 2021. TEMPESTA MALEDETTA -- The theft of Giorgione's painting, 'The Tempest', unites London, Venice and New York - brought to their knees by the coronavirus - with the Venice of the 16th century, devastated by plague. 'Formidable. Conquers and seduces the reader. Spectacular." Matteo Strukul QUERCUS UK 2011 - 2015 published THE REMBRANDT SECRET LEGACY OF BLOOD THE MEMORY OF BONES THE ISLE OF THE DEAD THE CARAVAGGIO CONSPIRACY THE BOSCH DECEPTION 2017 - THE CARAVAGGIO CONSPIRACY was published in Italy by Newton Compton and was at the top of the best seller charts for months.
