Behind the Throne
1905
In the quiet lanes of rural England, a powerful Italian Minister hides in plain sight. Camillo Morini, Italy's Minister of War, has cultivated a careful anonymity among his English neighbors, who know him only as the courteous Mr. Morini who visits each summer. But behind this peaceful facade lies a man entangled in the darkest currents of European politics: bribery, betrayal, and a corrosive bargain with a German contractor that could compromise the Italian military's integrity. When Morini's trusted lieutenant, General Borselli, arrives at the family's estate with news that threatens to shatter their precarious peace, the stakes become terrifyingly clear. Morini must choose between his ambitions and what remains of his conscience, while beneath the floorboards of their genteel life, secrets stir that could destroy everything Mary believes about her father. Written in 1905, this is early political thriller at its most insidious: a world where honor is purchased, loyalty is manufactured, and no one is quite who they claim to be.
