Vatican Knights #5
The Bridge of Bones
While vacationing in Paris, Shari Cohen’s children are kidnapped by Jadran Božanović, a Croatian kingpin who runs a human-trafficking cartel who is as deadly as the knife he wields. Few dare to challenge him. And even fewer dare to defy him. With time running out and her resources running thin, Shari calls upon the aid of Kimball Hayden and his team Vatican Knights—an elite group of commandos dedicated to protect the sovereignty, interests and citizenry of the Church—and are once again reunited. But Kimball finds that his team is quickly outmanned and outgunned, the death toll climbing against forces that are the deadliest the Knights have ever faced. With his back against the wall, Kimball is forced to choose Justice over Law by taking on Jadran Božanović in a contest that only one man can survive. But Kimball soon learns that the Croatian is as ruthless as his legend and just as powerful, if not more so, than the Vatican Knight himself.
"Ferociously paced and executed, Bridge of Bones is an all-out automatic weapons burst of an action-thriller following a secretive Vatican military arm as they help those who can't help themselves. A sinister human trafficking operation must be stopped--but where the letter of the law is not enough, will a higher justice prevail?"
— Rick Chesler, author of Wired Kingdom and Solar Island
“From a heart-wrenching abduction on the streets of Paris to a blistering gun battle on a yacht, Jones takes the reader on a fast paced ride of action and adventure while delving deeply into both the soul of a warrior and a mother’s grief. THE BRIDGE OF BONES is a grueling look at human trafficking and possibly the best Vatican Knights thriller yet.”
— Kane Gilmour, bestselling author of RAGNAROK and RESURRECT

Amazing outstanding Book!!!
This is one amazing author
I can’t wait to start the next one
All his books thus far have been just brilliant non-stop action
But not in a superhero way
The main character Kimball is a human being
And he has his own demons to fight
He has his own destiny
Love this series so far
Thank you

Another entertaining and fast-paced read. Our hero, who has become an urban myth in some circles, rescues the good guys and punishes the bad, but he is conflicted and abandons the Church to find himself.

Always like stories that have characters walking the line between good and evil. Good use of all characters, both new and old. Jones does a fine job writing about our main characters inner turmoil.

The Bridge of Bones is the latest book in the Vatican Knight's series. Shari Cohen, an FBI Agent, are vacationing in Paris, France when her two daughers are kidnapped right in front of Shari and her husband. The rule of thumb is 72 hours to be able to recover victims kidnapped. The French police don't seem to be moving very fast. The FBI can't help. It is in her desperation that Shari remembers being given a number that would get her to the Pope. Shari had been instrumental in saving the previous Pope.
There is questions as to whether aiding Shari meets the criteria of the Vatican Knights. Because of previous serivce to the Church, the rules are changed to include those who had been of service to the Catholic Church.
Kimbell Hayen and his Vatican Knights may be up against their most formable enemy. Jadran Bozanovic is a vicious Croation who runs a human trafficking group. It is Jadran who has captured Shari's daughter to sell into prostitution. His trademark for those who betray his .... to literally skin them alive.
Besides the vicious Jadran, Kimbell has a person problem. He is is love with Shari. There is no room for failure due to this love. Death of Jadran is necessary as he goes after anyone who is involved with a plot against him.
This Bridge of Bones deals with the fear of every parent... the abduction of their children. There is nothing a parent won't do to save their children. There is also nothing that a man in love won't do for the woman he loves.
Bridge of Bones is fast paced from the beginning and increases in intensity. It may be the best Vatican Knights to date.
Fantastic read.

This series gets better and better. The author brings back Sheri Cohen and now she has children who have been kidnapped. The Pope authorizes the Vatican Knights to help Sheri recover her kids. Things head South in a French Minute, but our knights do the best they can.
