BOOK REVIEW-Louis Romano delivers another sharp, adrenaline-fueled book in the Vic Gonnella detective series named INTERCESSION—a taut, international thriller that opens with a shock and never loses momentum. The brutal murder of a Catholic priest in the sanctity of his confessional sets off a gripping manhunt that stretches far beyond the borders of New York, pulling readers into a global chase laced with danger, deception, and surprising emotional depth.
The title, INTERCESSION, is not just a scene-setter—it’s a thematic anchor. It immediately evokes the sacrilege and intensity of the crime, drawing readers into the psychological and moral complexities of a killer who targets places of supposed sanctuary. Romano’s pacing is razor-sharp; the narrative wastes no time plunging into action, and each chapter builds on the last with escalating stakes and deeply personal consequences.
Detectives Vic Gonnella and Raquel Ruiz shine at the heart of the story. Their partnership evolves organically under pressure, and Romano deftly allows romance to bloom in the background of chaos—never detracting from the central mystery but adding a layer of humanity and vulnerability. The dynamic between the characters adds warmth and tension to a plot otherwise steeped in danger and pursuit.
This is more than a whodunit—it’s a thriller that crisscrosses continents, unspooling secrets with just enough restraint to keep readers constantly guessing. Romano’s ability to balance brutal crime with emotional undercurrents and character development is what elevates this book above standard detective fare.
INTERCESSION is a compelling blend of procedural grit, psychological suspense, and romantic tension. It grips with immediacy, lingers with moral weight, and satisfies with a conclusion that feels earned.
With heart-pounding suspense, unexpected romance, and twists at every turn, Louis Romano delivers a masterfully crafted crime story that keeps you guessing—and feeling—until the very end. Don’t miss this electrifying ride through faith, betrayal, and justice.
