Overview

"Bob and Liz Danforth are on the vacation of a lifetime-Venice, Italy during Carnevale. But, when they are caught up in the diabolical actions of a secret organization, patterned after the 11th Century's Hashashiyan, or Order of Assassins, their trip becomes a nightmare of herculean proportion. The Carnevale Conspiracy is an epic tale that brings together international intelligence agencies; a cadre of assassins inspired by a 900-year-old sect and their leader, the Old Man of the Mountain; a global assassination campaign that targets Western leaders; an intrepid MOSSAD agent; and a cast of heroic characters and evil traitors. Fans of Joseph Badal's Danforth Saga will find this 7th in the series full of the tension, action, and authenticity they have come to expect and enjoy. ""Relentless from start to finish. Badal just gets better and better."" -David Morrell, New York Times Bestselling Author of Murder As a Fine Art on Dark Angel"

Named 2020 Writer of the Year by the Military Writers Society of America Riveting. A secret organization is killing high ranking military and political officials. The lives of at least a thousand people are in jeopardy as the clandestine entity plans to unleash a thousand sleeper cells. After an attempt on his life in Venice, Robert Danforth returns to action in a lightning paced thriller from the masterful Joseph Badal. A superb entry in a stellar series. Highly recommended. -Sheldon Siegel, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Mike Daley/Rosie Fernandez Series The seventh entry in the Danforth Saga has got it all. An engaging cast of good guys and memorable villains. A tour of the Venice canals and ancient alleyways. And an audacious page-turner of a plot: A thousand sleeper agents trained at the assassins' lair of the Old Man of the Mountain in Iran. All with the same goal, the mass murder of an equal number of military leaders, politicians and business executives-with the Danforths as special targets-in an attempt to disrupt and dishearten the West. As the Italians would say, moltobene! -Paul Kemprecos, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Killing Icarus The Carnevale Conspiracy harks back to the golden age of thrillers, a beautifully executed tale that reads like a hybrid mix of Alistair McClean, Robert Ludlum and John le Carre. The sprawl of Joseph Badal's seminal effort is exceeded only by the ambition of this tale where the fate and future of the world are quite literally at stake. The Carnevale Conspiracy is a thriller lover's dream, hitting the bulls-eye dead center from first page to last. -Jon Land, USA Today Bestselling Author Who can resist an original take on international terrorism, smart bad guys, memorably crafted settings and a high-stakes game of revenge? Joseph Badal's latest soars to a climax at Venice's Carnevale that takes thriller to breathless new heights. -Anne Hillerman, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Chee/Leaphorn/Manuelito Mysteries, Including Stargazer Relentless from start to finish, The Carnevale Conspiracy is a tension-filled thriller that will delight fans of Brad Thor, Robert Ludlum, and Daniel Silva. As with the other novels in his Danforth Saga series, Joseph Badal masterfully weaves historical context into a modern adventure set in Venice, Italy, replete with villains you will love to hate and heroes you will cheer for. -Steven Pressfield, Bestselling Author of A Man At Arms It's a dangerous world in which the characters in The Carnevale Conspiracy find themselves. No one does international conspiracy adventures better than Joseph Badal. He's been there. -Steven Havill, Award-Winning Author of The Posadas County Mysteries
