When archaeologist Daniel Weston discovers an ancient map buried in the ruins of Pompeii – a map rumored to lead to treasure looted from the shores of Egypt – he doesn’t know the menacing forces that will be unleashed.
Hours later, Carabinieri Detective Angelo Mazetti is summoned to the rocky shores of Sorrento and discovers Daniel’s brutal murder. Short on leads, Mazetti teams up with Daniel’s longtime friends and fellow archaeologists, Jake and Nicole Stewart, as they unravel clues from the ancient map in hopes of solving the crime. The frantic search for answers leads to sealed crypts, sunken ruins, and a secret hidden within the heart of a storied city.
Evidence points to a wealthy Italian businessman, Marcus DiNicola, who is consumed by his own search for the treasure. DiNicola is powerful, ruthless, and motivated…but is he Daniel’s killer?
A sizzling thriller steeped in ancient archaeology, Agrippa’s Map leads the reader on a journey from the shimmering shores of Italy through Spain and France, before finally revealing the answers that lie at the end of the hunt. This book will appeal to fans of crime novels and treasure hunts alike.

A modern murder. An ancient treasure. A deadly race.
Detective Angelo Mazetti is called to a brutal crime scene in Napoli, where the evidence hints at something far older than a single act of violence. At the same time, Captain Claudia Zocchi of the Carabinieri Art Squad receives a mysterious artifact—a trumpet tied to the treasure once looted from Jerusalem’s Temple and paraded by Emperor Titus. The murder and the relic may be connected, and the truth is more dangerous than either imagined.
When a colleague is killed for what he knows, Mazetti teams up with archaeologists Jake and Nicole Steward. But they’re not alone in the hunt. Ruthless factions—collectors, criminals, and guardians of ancient secrets—will stop at nothing to seize the prize. Some want the treasure revealed to the world, others will destroy it to keep its power buried forever.
Is the treasure lost to time, locked away in a private collection, or hidden by an order sworn to protect it?
The chase is on. Whoever finds it first will control a secret powerful enough to rewrite history—if they live long enough to claim it.
