Publisher's Summary

WINNER OF 5 AWARDS!

Electrifying political thriller

For centuries, an unimaginable secret lay hidden in an ancient book, but when an ex-diplomatic security agent and his young French partner unearth that volume, they are tracked by a mysterious assassin and must try to get the book to safekeeping before its secret is used to ignite global chaos.

Ex Libris tells the story of Dan Lovel, an ex-diplomatic security agent, and Martine Desmarais, a young antiquities expert, who undertake a mission aimed at identifying art looted by Napoleon and now housed in the Louvre. They have been asked to snatch several books hidden in Prague that catalogue those artworks. But they discover that one of the books holds a secret so fundamental it could ignite global war. Now facing lethal danger, Dan and Martine must question every truth they once believed.

Fans love the unusual characters—from Dan, whose Gypsy heritage proves vital, to Paulette the blind painter, to Jade the female assassin who has never failed.  

Ex Libris has won multiple awards and accolades:

  • First Place and Gold Medal Awards - NY City Book Award (now Global Book Awards)
  • Finalist - Eric Hoffer Book Award
  • Semi-Finalist - Kindle Book Review Award
  • Brag Medallion - IndieBRAG Award
  • Recommended by The US Review of Books (for outstanding fiction)
