Nail of Veneration - Hardcover

by Peter W. Carbone (Author)

In this emotionally charged spiritual crime thriller, investigative journalist Julianna Stamford is drawn back to her Irish Catholic roots as she and a close circle of allies confront the unraveling of their beloved friend, Father Francesco Vinci. Once a compassionate priest, he now teeters on the edge of despair, haunted by trauma and drawn into a shadowy spiritual journey entwined with an ancient religious relic whose secrets will disrupt everything he believes. Set in Boston's North End and intertwined with the high-stakes biotech world of Isabella Kaplan, the CEO of a rare disease life sciences organization, the story explores themes of betrayal, reverence, faith, forgiveness, and the challenges and resilience of the human spirit's journey.
