Unholy Trinity

A Political Thriller of Murder, Conspiracy and the Vatican's Darkest Secrets

When foreign correspondent Andy Chapman investigates the brutal killing of a controversial left-wing priest in Rome, he stumbles upon evidence that could implicate the Vatican itself. Determined to uncover the truth, he turns to Elena Fiorini, a fearless magistrate, and together they begin a relentless hunt for the killers.

But as they dig deeper, they find themselves ensnared in a deadly web of deception, power, and violence. The trail leads them to a clandestine network of neo-Fascist fanatics, shadowy figures who have never abandoned their sinister ambitions. As bodies pile up and danger closes in, Andy and Elena must navigate the treacherous corridors of Vatican power and unearth secrets buried since the final days of Mussolini’s rule – secrets some are willing to kill for.

Set against the haunting ruins of Rome and infused with heart-pounding suspense, Unholy Trinity is a gripping thriller that blends historical intrigue with modern-day corruption.

Reviews for Unholy Trinity

A powerful and complex thriller. The two protagonists are drawn with skill and humour, and the orchestration of the climaxes shows a veteran’s skill.

Crime Time

An intelligent and exciting adventure.

New Law Journal

“Tingling political thriller…highly recommended. The great Eric Ambler would have enjoyed reading this.”

Literary Review, London.

“Artfully crafted and intricately layered.”

Publishers Weekly

A great British find.

The Bookseller

This is a well-crafted thriller, taut, exciting and utterly believable.

Books Magazine

The atmosphere of Italy is portrayed with wonderful ease; the characters are well described and distinctive; the plot itself is deeply satisfying. Adam makes superb use of history. He has a sharp and unfussy method of putting his story down on paper which makes reading his book a real pleasure. I happily recommend this to anyone who likes Len Deighton or Robert Harris: a very good read.

Tangled Web

It is a highly professional thriller written with great certainty, and the characters are vividly brought to life. Here is an author to watch for the future. I look forward to his next one.

Publishing News

Adam offers us a gripping narrative with a white-knuckle denouement. An absorbing read for those who prefer their fiction to be literate.

James Melville Ham & High

A wickedly sustained atmosphere of fear.
