Italy 1464: Power hungry aristocrats are battling for control of Florence. Can a young Florentine stop his birthplace from plunging into chaos?

When young lawyer Nico Argenti returns home from the university eager to start a promising career, he is recruited by the Florentine Chancellor to help defeat power hungry aristocrats who are plotting to overthrow the government.

Nico must rely on more than his quick wits when the shadowy villains put him in life-threatening danger as an assassin's target.

Can the idealistic lawyer prove he’s the man to save an entire city?

The Laureate is the first book in the Nico Argenti historical mystery series. If you like driven characters, a suspenseful plot, and accurately portrayed Italian society, then you’ll love this award-winning page-turner.
