Samantha Tulley

Kirkus Reviews calls this award-winning book ”a scathing indictment of the Texas criminal justice system!”

Starting a career as a small town criminal attorney would be tough enough, but as a widowed mother with no income and very little in the bank, Samantha Tulley is in way over her head. From court appointed clients who never show up for court to pro bono clients with seemingly unwinnable cases, every day is a new struggle to figure out the criminal justice system. And then suddenly the system turns against her, and Sam and her daughter are left running for their lives.

Torn from the author’s own real-life case files, Resumed Innocent offers a revealing and gripping inside look at how our fractured justice system serves to punish the innocent and reward the wicked. And for the poor there simply is no justice at all.

A strange 1st century Christian symbol has suddenly appeared across southern Europe, raining death and devastation upon everything it touches.

And only three people have a chance to stop it from enslaving the planet once again.

Sam, Gavin and Andy are in a desperate race to uncover the roots of a conspiracy that threatens to put the continent of Europe to the torch. And in the process discover the final hiding place for the lost treasure of the Knights Templar, a treasure that could contain the oldest secrets of the Christian faith. Secrets that could very well destroy the Church.

The signs are everywhere:

Navy satellites have discovered a mysterious, deadly artifact buried deep within the Sahara Desert.

Samantha Tulley is in a race to save her daughter’s inheritance, only to find herself racing instead for her very life.

A young lawyer fights against the clock to save a client charged with raping a young girl, a man with no apparent way to prove his innocence.

Meanwhile, a secret chamber is found stashed beneath an ancient fortress, quite possibly the long-sought final resting place for the lost treasure of the Knights Templars. A treasure that could include the Holy Grail itself, and the priceless Library of Solomon.

And an ancient and cryptic symbol that traces its roots to the earliest days of the Christian faith promises to unlock the secret to it all.

Chi Rho.

A Naval Intelligence agent has been kidnapped by a billionaire madman, and disgraced FBI agent Gavin Larson has but one chance to save her, save Europe—and save what’s left of his career.

Tulley’s back. And this time he’s brought an army. A firestorm is set to sweep across Europe, and William Tulley is holding the match. Can Gavin and Samantha figure out a way to stop him before the entire world erupts in flames, when even NATO’s combined forces can’t seem to slow him down?

As resentment over austerity measures and the mounting tide of Muslim refugees swells across southern Europe—resentment fueled by Tulley’s stolen billions—a newly elected pope is sounding a clarion call for a global war to exterminate Islam. A war taken straight off the pages of The Revelation of St. John, threatening nothing less than the annihilation of the human race. And only two people stand the slightest chance of stopping it.

The problem is, Tulley knows who they are. And, even worse, he knows where they live.

The riveting final chapter in the award-winning Resumed Innocent trilogy, New Rome Rising is a heart-pounding tale of espionage and intrigue, of religious and secular ambitions intertwining to threaten the very future of humanity. A political and social tsunami ripped straight out of today’s headlines. As sociopath William Tulley labors step-by-step behind the scenes to manipulate the frustrated, forgotten masses of Europe, his goal no less than a resurrected Roman Empire with him at its head, Europe’s leaders seem powerless to control the mounting chaos.

Meanwhile, a wave of cryptic Christian symbols has finally completed its long journey from Turkey to the Spanish seashore, and Tulley’s daughter-in-law Samantha and her friend, disgraced FBI agent Gavin Larson, are racing across Europe and North Africa digging up clues buried within long-forgotten secrets of the Christian faith. Secrets the Church and William Tulley would rather keep buried.

As the crisis mounts, Sam and Gavin find themselves always one move behind Tulley’s intricate game of global chess, and the timer is ticking. Even worse, Tulley now has them both in his sights. The hunters have become the hunted.

Religion, politics, sex—nothing is sacred any longer to William Tulley and his mercenary army. It’s a win or die trying proposition, so losing isn’t an option for either side. And at the very heart of this furious fight to the death is one of the oldest, most historic cities of all. The City of Constantine.

New Rome.
