A priest is murdered and a Private agent is the number one suspect.
Jack Morgan is in Rome celebrating the opening of the new local Private office, when the party takes a deadly turn. Private agent Matteo Ricci is found at the party standing over the body of a dead priest with a gun in hand, swearing he did not kill the man.
As Jack tries to prove Matteo's innocence, he uncovers a much deadlier conspiracy - which leads straight to the heart of the Vatican.
With corruption closing in on all sides, Jack must decide who he can trust before the city falls.

*Havoc in Rome*
This is book 18 in the Private series. A series that centres around Jack Morgan. He is the head of the world famous Private Detective Agency that he took over once his father passed. He turned a failing business into what it is today with branches across the globe. He is a former marine and pilot and served in Afghanistan. Little does he know he will definitely need his special set of skills.
For me this series started really well but, it lost its way in the middle but this collaboration with Adam Handy also in the previous few books brought it back on track.
This instalment sees Jack in Rome to celebrate the opening of a new branch. As usual with Jack nothing is straightforward. His new head of Private Rome is ex police officer Matteo Ricci. A priest asks to have a confidential word with Matteo and as they leave to go into a room, the next thing is there are shots fired.
Jack as usual rushes headlong into what could be danger. What he finds is a dazed Matteo standing over the body of the priest holding the murder weapon.
Jack is shocked to think he may have had poor judgement appointing Matteo. But, Jack smells a rat. He then finds himself in a city that he does not know the language well and having to work out who he can trust. All hell lets loose as Jack is like a dog with a bone in search of the truth
A lot of action, near misses and his team in the USA will take no for an answer as they fly out to help him. Thrilling to say the least.
