The Kingdom and the power

In the shadow of World War II, a beacon of hope ignites only to vanish in the annals of history. Professor Peter Wagner's revolutionary "Big Light," a monumental leap in cold fusion, is entrusted to a solitary priest who races against the very darkness it was designed to obliterate. Allegedly concealed within the hallowed walls of an Austrian monastery, the invention lies dormant-until a legacy of evil resurrects the hunt, unfurling a trail soaked in monastic blood.

A veteran sleuth, John Nowalski, is dispatched into the heart of this storm. The Vatican's Director General for Investigations and Intelligence, he wields a rare mix of faith and forensic prowess. With lethal forces emerging from the shadows, Nowalski finds himself spiraling into a past steeped in deception where the lines between ally and adversary blur. The chase leads him home to New Jersey-a homecoming fraught with ghosts lurking in the ruins of his former life.

Tension coils as Nowalski joins forces with Janine Wagner, the great-granddaughter of the enigmatic priest safeguarding Wagner's legacy. Together, they navigate a web of hidden agendas with a single mission: recover the cold fusion formula before it fuels a power most foul. Matched against a relentless South American syndicate and North Korean assassins, they're ensnared in a deadly race where the prize could dictate the fate of the world.
