The Collegium Conspiracy

By Ed Marino

A U.S. congressman is found savagely murdered his body bound to a navigational buoy just off the rocky coast of a quiet Maine town. The message is chilling. The motive? Unknown.

In response, the President assembles a covert task force led by former FBI agent Nick Taglio and his life partner, ex-CIA officer Francesca Frankie Paterson. Having walked away from high-stakes intelligence work for a quieter life in Boston, Nick and Frankie are pulled back into the shadows by a crime too dangerous to ignore.

What begins as a murder investigation soon unravels into a global conspiracy. The clues point to Collegium a modern-day criminal syndicate modeled after an ancient Roman cabal. Their objective: hijack control of the global cryptocurrency market and destabilize the U.S. dollar, threatening the entire world economy.

Armed with cutting-edge AI and off-the-books tactics, Nick and Frankie race against time on a high-stakes mission from coastal Maine to Boston, New York, London, and Washington until the trail leads them to the unlikeliest of doorsteps: a rival superpower.

Fast-paced and fiercely intelligent, The Collegium Conspiracy is a gripping thriller that fuses history, technology, and political intrigue into a chillingly plausible global threat.
