A Hidden Fire
“There is a manuscript you need to copy for me.”
“I’m busy right now.”
“It’s in Houston. Didn’t you just move there?”
“I didn’t move here so I could copy manuscripts for you.”
“How do you know? Maybe that’s exactly why you moved there.”
A phone call from an old friend sets Dr. Giovanni Vecchio back on the path of a mystery he’d abandoned years before. He never expected a young librarian could hold the key to the search, nor could he have expected the danger she would attract. Now he and Beatrice de Novo will follow a twisted maze that leads them from the archives of a university library, through the fires of Renaissance Florence, and toward aconfrontation they never could have predicted.

"Where did you get the inspiration for The Elemental Mysteries?"
- This is a really common question with no clear answer except my overactive imagination. In a more general sense, I usually start with characters first. That is, characters come to my fevered brain, and the plots to my books usually follow that, not the other way round. So, I guess you could say that the Elemental Mysteries are inspired by the character of Giovanni Vecchio.
Elemental Mysteries consists of four books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
