A professional thief takes on one last job in order to retire with his Autistic son. But the artifact he steals becomes the object of an international search by mercenaries and the ransom for his son...then the hunted becomes the hunter.
Brother Michael is one of the most interesting characters I have ever created. His dark past as a mercenary, yet his solemn path to the Order as a monk, has captured many a reader's interest. I've been surprised at the number of people who have asked if I plan to write a pre-quel based on him alone.
Fast paced action. An international manhunt by mercenaries with one objective -- return the true Burial Shroud of Jesus stolen from their safekeeping. Their ancient Order is now threatened and the thief must pay with his life. But the thief plans otherwise and realizes he's been duped by his employer.

Ancient Egypt, a time when the beautiful Egyptian queen, Hatshepsut, wanted to be king as well as Pharaoh, and would pay the price with murder or her body.
In every ancient city were the areas for the rich and the poor, same as today...but in this writing I wanted to set the tone of the coming events by portraying an area where the dregs of a city plied their trades; where the only law that existed were the laws of daily survival at any costs, and such costs came at a high personal price.
This novel is based upon the real-life, beautiful Egyptian queen Hatshepsut and the man she stole the throne of Egypt from -- Thutmose III. It carries you through the intrigue of palace struggles, the depths to which one will go to obtain the kingship, and the treacherous acts they are willing to pay to achieve their wants.

John Alvarez had endured pain all of his life. He lost his family as a child, survived a brutal war, spent years in prison, then was suddenly released to escort a man on a special mission into the Amazonian region. But in the Amazon he met the devil himself and discovered his mission could only end in redemption -- or death.
Can you trust all your eyes see? Then when the realization strikes that what is before you is real, can you retain your sanity? When the Devil stands before you and speaks, will your mind accept his words?
Just when you believe life couldn’t turn worse, it does.
