The Blue Demon |
Nic Costa and his friends in the Roman Carabonieri are catapulted into the world of international terrorism and the secretive background to world politics. A horrific murder on the eve of the G8 summit in Rome seems to hark back to a previous incident thought to have been closed, involving a maverick group, the Blue Demon. This is a fast paced thriller that plays with ideas of nationality and loyalty.

The Garden of Evil |
Set in Rome, the reader is drawn into the murky world of fine art and obsession. Here the plot revolves around lost works by Caravaggio. Leo Falcone and Nic Costa, already well known to many readers, are in pursuit of a violent, aristocratic villain. They are an attractive partnership, while Hewson taps into the Dan Brown world of fine art, symbols and secrecy to create a tense thriller that carries the reader along. Enjoyable.
