The Rosecross
The Rosecross is a labyrinthine journey into the throes of a terrifying conspiracy designed to lead our country into a war-for-profit, unless one man can survive long enough to expose the truth.
The son of a federal appeals court judge, Francesco's Micco's world is rocked when his mother is murdered in the kitchen of their family home in Vienna, Virginia. What starts as a shocking crime takes a turn to the sinister when the FBI mysteriously closes her file and his father, picking up scattered pieces of the investigation, dies under mysterious circumstances. Francesco picks up the mantle and sets out to seek justice on his own terms. But what follows is the stunning revelation that his father's old law school friend, the eccentric H. Victor VonBronstrup-- the Master of a secret society-- is embroiled in a conspiracy connected to his mother's murder. It's a conspiracy slamming Francesco into the vortex of a plan designed by a secret cabal housed in the Pentagon whose endgame is to plunge the country into a war-for-profit. Undaunted, Francesco maneuvers through the clues left by his father, but his life becomes even more entangled when his sister is kidnapped. Her ransom? His promise to smother the truth. He now faces the deadliest decision in his life. Should he abort his search or should he ferret out the government machination designed to dupe the American public?
Drawn from the institutions of America's justice and political systems, The Rosecross is a first-rate political thriller with the type of sophisticated, tension-filled plotting generally reserved for seasoned veterans such as David Balducci and John Grisham. Filled with well-cast characters, crackling dialogue, and danger at every turn, Francis Caiazza's debut novel is a scintillating examination of family bonds, a government ruse and the fine line separating the justice of the law-and the justice of a higher power.
