Carnival of Lies (2025)
Book Five takes Cesare Aldo to the one place he has always sworn never to return: Venice!
Sometimes a liar is the safest person to trust…
Renaissance Italy. Winter, 1539. When Cesare Aldo learns of a conspiracy to murder Cosimo de’ Medici, he is hired to protect the ruler of Florence. But this deadly attack leads to bodies, bloodshed - and something far more dangerous.
The instigators obtain a secret journal that - in the wrong hands – could destroy Florence. Aldo must hunt down those responsible and reclaim the journal, or face banishment from everyone he loves.
The trail leads Aldo inexorably toward the one place he has always sworn never to return, a city of masks and lies where he has no allies and far too many enemies: Venice!
