"The Third Hour is an amazing read." Heather Graham, New York Times Bestselling Author "What a debut."
USA Book News Award Winner - Thriller/Adventure
Once a devout catholic, Dominic Renzi finds himself at a crossroad in his life and his faith. A priest's last words, whispered to Dominic, pull him back to the church in a way he never expected... And a conspiracy begins to unravel. Dominic unwittingly becomes the center of a complicated maze of the world's unsolved mysteries: Roswell, the Bermuda Triangle, time travel and the crucifixion.
With help from inside the U.S. Senate and the Vatican, Dominic struggles to find the truth, save the church... and his life.
Can he uncover the truths from the past that shape the present before he is stopped? Perhaps all the answers he seeks have already been found... at The Third Hour.
"Don't miss this!" F. Paul Wilson, New York Times Bestselling Author and Creator of Repairman Jack.
"The Third Hour is an original spin on the religious-thriller genre, incorporating elements of science fiction along with the religious angle. Dan Brown, Lee Child and James Rollins fans may have just found another author to add to their bookshelf. The strength of The Third Hour lies in its originality, combined with an interesting take on real historical figures, who are made a part of the experiment at the heart of the novel, and the fast pace that builds throughout the story to an - I didn't see that coming - ending."

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
While the central story line of this ambitious thriller focuses on priest Dominic Renzi, Devin also tosses in the 1908 Tunguska, Siberia, explosion; the 1947 Roswell incident; and the Bermuda Triangle. The number of allegedly paranormal incidents makes it difficult to tie everything together neatly, and readers may feel that Devin has bitten off more than he can chew. In the spring of 2006, Renzi is fleeing a murderer in Rome. The killer has claimed the life of an old man who speaks his dying words in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. A shift in perspective sheds some light on the dark forces at work, as Brother Salvatore regretfully informs "The Superior" that the "Key" has been lost. Once the Vatican enters the mix, comparisons with The Da Vinci Code are inevitable and don't work in the book's favor. The kitchen sink approach to conspiracies isn't redeemed by either memorable prose or well-developed characters. (BookLife)
