Under The Pope's Windows

In October 1943, Hitler’s SS troops surrounded Rome’s Jewish Ghetto and plundered the Jews’ most precious heritage: two ancient libraries containing unique books and manuscripts dating from before the birth of Christ, from the time of the Caesars, the emperors, and the early popes.
The Nazi ambassador to the Vatican reported to his masters in Berlin that the looting and deportations took place ‘under the Pope's windows’.
Now, Rex Dalton and his wife, Catia, and Digger, their military dog, set out on a quest to find the stolen libraries and return them to the Jewish community of Rome.
But before long, they cross paths with modern-day Nazi diehards, anti-Semites, and a secret organization of super-rich elite who will kill to keep the past a secret.
JC Ryan is a bestselling author known for crafting intricate espionage and archaeological thrillers and conspiracy mysteries. His work has received high acclaim. With over thirty published novels, including the popular Rex Dalton thrillers, the Rossler Foundation mysteries, and Carter Devereux thrillers, Ryan has developed a devoted following who celebrate his masterful blend of historical mystery and contemporary adventure. Readers praise Ryan's work for its exceptional research depth and how he skillfully weaves actual history into fictional narratives. His engaging plots, featuring multiple storylines, have earned him a reputation for creating 'unputdownable' stories. Ryan's diverse life experiences deeply inform his writing. After receiving a military degree, he served as an officer for seven years until a crippling back injury forced a career change. Undeterred, he returned to university to study law and ran his private practice for over fifteen years. His career path then led him to another country where he worked as an IT project manager, before finally pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming a writer in 2014. When not writing, Ryan enjoys life with his college sweetheart, whom he's been married to since 1978. They are proud parents of two daughters and two sons-in-law and grandparents to two grandchildren.
