The Mandylion: Featuring Valentina Esposito, and Other Intriguing Tales (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798884757783)

After two-thousand years, the Mandylion, a priceless, lost ancient image of Jesus, has resurfaced. To authenticate and secure the piece, Anthony Provati and his sister Valentina Esposito are lured to Paris, France by Sophia, Anthony's notorious ex-lover. Upon arrival, they're plunged into a murderous pursuit for the icon threatened by Russian spies and Arab terrorists who also seek the art.

The collection includes five Detective Bragg mysteries. A gold shield homicide detective out of Brooklyn South, Bragg tackles a set of tangled murder cases that sometimes frustrate his sense of justice.

The final two short stories, A Second Shot and What Value to Profit the World draw the reader into the speculative realm.
