Jake Fortina and the Roman Conspiracy - Paperback

by Ralph R. Rick Steinke (Author)

In this compelling sequel to Major Jake Fortina and the Tier One Threat, Jake Fortina, now married to Italian Carabinieri officer Sara Simonetti, must stop an international security threat directed by a Russian oligarch at the United States, Italy, and democratic Europe. Recently assigned to the US Embassy in Rome, Fortina also confronts a domestic threat developing in the US Army's as well as the US Embassy's ranks, while the specter of rising global authoritarianism looms in the background. Predominantly set in the historically rich city of Rome, Rick Steinke's prescient and timely tapestry weaves together a nexus of transnational organized crime, terrorism, and recent US-Russia and Italian political turbulence and history.
