Melia Ridge, The Max Blake Mysteries

In the thrilling follow-up to Emerald Ridge, a PI and his fiancée head from Oregon to Rome—to find answers to mysteries both personal and political . . .

Max Blake’s fiancée, Caeli Brown, lost her archbishop uncle to gunfire—at least, that’s what they thought. So they’re puzzled when they receive another postcard from him. What’s going on? Is Uncle Jack dead or not?

Max and Caeli are soon on the road to the Vatican’s Secret Archives Building in the heart of Rome, where they meet a mysterious prelate with a fixation for world domination—a man who may well hold the key to determining who actually shot American President John F. Kennedy in 1963—in this gut-wrenching, surprising, and sharply witty tale of international mystery and intrigue.
