Description
Two Italian sons, linked by a masterpiece painting, are put to a test of loyalty and honor.
At the heart of this gripping tale is Orazio Bordoni, the wayward son of a construction magnate, living a reckless life like that of his artistic hero Caravaggio. He finds himself befriended by Nicolo Giotto, the devoted son of a powerful Sicilian mafia clan, who wants to uphold the honor of his family.
As the dark underbelly of the art world and the Vatican expose their true character, Orazio finds himself in a world where his loyalty is tested, honor is at stake, and the boundaries between life and art blur. He and Nicolo discover just how far they're willing to push those boundaries, even if it means sacrificing everything else.
House of Honor is a pivotal story that weaves the threads of history, the ruthless allure of the mafia, the enigmatic power of the Vatican, and the timeless brilliance of Caravaggio.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"House of Honor captivated me from the first page to the last. Philbrick will transport you to the Italy of the 1960s and the Renaissance era. . . . It is reminiscent of The Godfather meets The Da Vinci Code, but with a redemptive twist. Masterfully crafted and beautifully written!" Taryn R. Hutchison, Author of One Degree of Freedom and Two Lights of Hope
"House of Honor depicts the richness of the Italian people . . . all presented with contrast, perspective, depth, and color similar to what one experiences in the presence of a Caravaggio painting. Instead of brushes and oils, she uses words." Ram Rojas, Venezuelan-born painter and muralist
"The title of House of Honor hints at the dark backdrop for this suspenseful tale . . . I can tell you that you wont be left in the cold at the glorious close (but wait for it!)" Dee Brestin, Best-selling author
