The Laureate

When the death of Cosimo de Medici spurs power-hungry aristocrats into action, can a young Florentine stop his birthplace from plunging into chaos?

Florence, 1464. Nico Argenti is glad to be home. Returning with a Doctor of Law degree, he eagerly awaits his introduction to the guild so he can start a promising career. Surprised to be summoned to the Chancellor, he's even more shocked when the erudite official asks for his assistance in defeating a violent plot to topple the government.

Recruited for his innate astuteness and reputation as a superior scholar, Nico compensates for his inexperience by going undercover to collect information. But he must rely on more than his quick wits when his proximity to shadowy villains puts him in life-threatening danger.

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