The Frequency Of Stone

Rome, 1943. Vatican archivist Elisa Contini inherits more than her father's notebooks — she inherits a hidden transmitter concealed in the Tower of the Winds, and the terrible knowledge of how to use it. Disguising Allied intelligence as Renaissance polyphony, she broadcasts from behind the thinnest neutrality in Europe: a painted white line dividing sanctuary from occupation. Hunted by Hans Keller, an SS officer with a musicologist's ear who is closing in on exactly what she's hiding inside the music, Elisa must outthink a man capable of understanding her in ways almost no one else can — while every transmission she sends costs the people she loves. A novel of faith, code, and quiet defiance, set in a city where silence itself becomes the most dangerous frequency of all.
