The Trumpet's Call

By M. D. Veach

A modern murder. An ancient treasure. A deadly race.

Detective Angelo Mazetti is called to a brutal crime scene in Napoli, where the evidence hints at something far older than a single act of violence. At the same time, Captain Claudia Zocchi of the Carabinieri Art Squad receives a mysterious artifact-a trumpet tied to the treasure once looted from Jerusalem's Temple and paraded by Emperor Titus. The murder and the relic may be connected, and the truth is more dangerous than either imagined.

When a colleague is killed for what he knows, Mazetti teams up with archaeologists Jake and Nicole Steward. But they're not alone in the hunt. Ruthless factions-collectors, criminals, and guardians of ancient secrets-will stop at nothing to seize the prize. Some want the treasure revealed to the world, others will destroy it to keep its power buried forever.

Is the treasure lost to time, locked away in a private collection, or hidden by an order sworn to protect it?

The chase is on. Whoever finds it first will control a secret powerful enough to rewrite history-if they live long enough to claim it.
