Insecure American graduate student Crispin Leads has come to the Vatican to study burial rituals and catch up with her oldest friend, Sister Lew, historian for the Shroud of Turin. Within hours of Crispin's arrival she witnesses a murder and is drawn into an investigation of multiple homicides. When Lew disappears, Crispin is accused of being involved. Although she doesn't trust him, Crispin accepts the help of a young priest, Roberto Rossini. The pair stay one step ahead of the police and a determined assassin as they try to unravel the mystery.

Industry Reviews

"Shrouded is a masterfully written mystery novel, powered by well-developed characters and a sophisticated plot. Who stole the Shroud of Turin, and what do they want with it? And who kidnapped our favorite nun, Sister Mary Llewellyn? Crispin, our anxiety-ridden but determined young sleuth, is on the case."

--David Aretha, award-winning author

"Crispin Leads is a heroine I can get behind: bold, brilliant, empathetic and intelligent. Traversing Turin and the Vatican Shrouded's heroine will leave you breathless. It's the mystery, not a man, that Crispin is out to solve."

--Bethany Hegedus is an award-winning novelist and Creative Director of The Writing Barn

"Shrouded is the contemporary thriller The DaVinci Code wanted to be."

-Bill Johnson, author of A Story is a Promise and The Spirit of Storytelling

In SHROUDED, debut amateur sleuth Crispin Leads finds herself on a pulse quickening, brainteasing adventure in the style of The DaVinci Code. Crispin must go undercover, steal secret computer information, and stop an international conspiracy by combining travel, history, and cutting edge science. Move over Dan Brown!

--Manning Wolfe - Texas Lady Lawyer Series

"I could not put Shrouded down. It had all the right things I want in a mystery novel, adventure, intrigue, and a driven, interesting female protagonist."

-- Katherine Moore- Editor and Ghostwriter

-- Sam Bond, award-winning author
