3 Novels in 1 book. A Vampire in the Vatican. Luciano Martinelli is 52 years old and an Inspector in the Vatican City Police. It's been an easy life for him until one day he investigates 5 murders, all taking place inside the Vatican. This starts his journey into a world of evil and deceit, of pagan rituals and murder. As luck, or divine intervention has it, an ancient parchment guides him to the final solution; but 1 piece of information is missing. Will Martinelli be able to work it out to end the threat of Armageddon? Nun with a Gun. Detective Inspector Martinelli decides to take a vacation after his encounters with the Vatican. He leaves home and flies to Munich, always hoping to meet a 'Knight of Christ' and maybe a few 'Royal' vampires. Spirits rising from the grave, and a Nazi connection has Martinelli baffled, until he discovers it revolves around missing Nazi gold. Martinelli discovers a deadly secret going back to 1942. Everything changes when he finally gets to speak to Sister Maria and he's surprised at her connection to what is going on in the village. How will the Inspector solve this intricate puzzle? The Aesinas Codex. Martinelli is summoned to the Vatican 2 days after he returns from Bavaria. The pontiff is concerned that the Aesinas Codex, an ancient text sought after by Himmler and the Gestapo during world war 2, has been hijacked from an armoured truck while being transported to the Vatican City. Martinelli is told that the satchel containing the Codex included a separate single page that had never been translated. On the request of the 'Brotherhood of the Sword', the Inspector finds himself back in Germany as the newly formed Fourth Reich is suspected of the theft. He finds himself captured by the Fourth Reich, and is surprised at what he finds. His interest is sparked when he finds a vampire connection. Will Martinelli eventually find the Codex? Will he discover why it was stolen?
