A confession sparks a race against time to save Rome from destruction…

London, September 2025 – dp books is proud to announce the signing of Peter Hogenkamp and the upcoming release of The Vatican Conspiracy, the pulse-pounding first volume in his high-stakes Marco Venetti Thriller series.

When an ordinary day in a quiet coastal parish is shattered by a desperate confession, Father Marco Venetti is forced to confront the violent past he had tried to forget. Elena, a woman Marco has long admired, reveals that her daughter and sister have been kidnapped by ruthless men who demand her cooperation in smuggling a deadly threat into the country. If she refuses, her family will be killed. If she obeys, countless innocents may die.

Drawn back into a world of violence and deception, Marco joins forces with Elena and a CIA assassin to trace the conspiracy to its terrifying endgame: a terrorist plot aimed at the very heart of the Vatican. Racing against time, Marco must grapple with an impossible question – can a man of God ever justify going to war?
