Summary

The Paletti Notebook is an amazing collection of art and letters from the geniuses of the Renaissance: da Vinci, Michelangelo, Borgia, Savonarola, Machiavelli. It could be worth incalculable millions of Euros.
 
But what did Sandro Paletti really leave behind 500 years ago, and what else in that ancient collection, unearthed from an abbey in Florence in 2021, is so important that the governments of the United States, Great Britain, China and other major countries would go to such lengths to acquire it?
 
Now, the race is on to capture the portfolio. With the life of a young girl and the fate of nations hanging in the balance, can Darren Priest get to it before his adversaries?
Available since: 07/11/2024.
Print length: 210 pages.

    "The last time I saw the ocean was my first beach vacation to Pancake Shores in 1958.” 
    When the Thompson twins invite 12-year-old Wilson to go to the beach with them in the summer of 1958, he couldn’t say no. This was way more exciting than going to the vacuum cleaner museum with his family. But, once the kids arrive at the beach house and find there’s no adult supervision, Wilson’s excitement turns to panic. 
    To his relief, Wilson makes a new friend on the pier who helps calm his anxieties for a moment. The moment only lasts until Wilson discovers something on the beach. Something that causes him to never return to the ocean for the rest of his life.

    An outbreak of twelve gruesome, unsolved murders from the 1800s seems an excellent choice for Jay Dalton to try out his hand at writing. Doing so as he is starting life over after a painful divorce in a peaceful, rural farmhouse, in which he had recently moved, seems delightful. All 
    would not stay as it seems for long.
     
    The quaintness of his old farm house quickly fades as he becomes more aware that he isn’t alone in his new abode. A series of journals Jay discovers provide unexpected research results for his book, even as they seem to come more and more ominously to life. But it is a series of 
    “accidents” that are most troublesome, as it seems that someone intends for Jay to never finish his book.
     
    As Jay digs deeper, he begins to suspect that the unsolved murders, the hauntings in his house, and his current peril may be more closely connected than he would have ever suspected. How good he is at putting the pieces together may just determine if he lives to write about it.

    1940: Weeks after the evacuation of Dunkirk, Germany is poised to invade a near-defenseless Britain. To safeguard the Crown Jewels from the Nazis, Winston Churchill devises a daring gamble to have them shipped overseas. The priceless artifacts will be secretly removed from the Tower of London and driven north to Scotland by two operatives posing as a young married couple, to be taken from there to Canada. 
     
     
     
    Caitrin Colline—a Welsh coalminer's daughter and an ardent socialist—will play the wife of Lord Marlton, Hector Neville-Percy. A less likely couple is at first difficult to imagine. Yet Caitrin's bold, streetwise confidence and sharp wits complement Hector's social ease and connections, essential to a second part of their mission: uncovering Nazi sympathizers within the highest ranks of Britain's aristocracy. 
     
     
     
    Battling enemies within and without, Caitrin wonders if anyone in their circle can be trusted—even her partner. And when unexpected events catapult her into a life-or-death chase across the continent, the morale of a nation and the fate of Europe itself in the balance.
