The Keeper of Ucciardone (The Calvino Files Series — High Stakes Political Thriller | Spy Thriller | Crime Conspiracy Fiction)

When justice and truth fracture under pressure, only one man stands between silence and exposure…

Psychologist Matteo Calvino, once a respected lecturer and prison evaluator, thought he’d left danger behind after exposing corruption in Milan’s darkest conspiracies. But Palermo doesn’t forget.
In The Keeper of Ucciardone, Calvino is drawn into the underbelly of Sicily’s most notorious prison — Ucciardone — to evaluate a mafia pentito whose revelations could shake the foundations of organized crime, the Vatican’s financial secrets, and Italy’s political elite.

A supposed confession — decades old — claims to hold explosive truths about the assassination of Judge Giovanni Falcone, the infamous 1992 mafia bombing that forever changed Italy’s justice system. But in a world where loyalty is currency and deception is survival, can Calvino tell truth from performance?
As he navigates past ghosts, courtroom politics, and the mafia’s entrenched power, every interview, every silence, and every memory becomes a battleground — and Calvino is dangerously close to losing not just the case… but himself.

Dark conspiracies. Institutional cover-ups. Psychological precision.
The Keeper of Ucciardone is a gripping political thriller and crime suspense novel that will keep you questioning who really holds the keys to power.
