The Sacred Spoils: an action-packed, archaelogical thriller for fans of Dan Brown

In rugged Calabria, historian Carmen Nero is drawn into a perilous hunt for the lost tomb of Alaric I, the Visigoth king who looted ancient Rome. But the ruthless Calabrian Mafia has its own deadly designs on the secrets buried beneath southern Italy.

As Carmen teams up with Cesco Rossi, a charismatic conman with a fierce thirst for revenge against the same Mafia, their search draws the attention of Israeli archaeologist Zara Gold, determined to recover the fabled Menorah, rumoured to be hidden alongside Alaric’s treasures.

Soon, Carmen, Cesco, and Zara are swept into a dangerous web of organised crime, international intrigue, and ancient mysteries. In mafia-controlled villages and crumbling ruins, the race for priceless Roman loot becomes a heart-pounding game of survival.

Perfect for fans of high-stakes archaeological thrillers, conspiracy mysteries, and action-packed adventures set against the breathtaking backdrop of southern Italy.
