WICKED GOOD SECRETS

Wicked Good Secrets is a fast-paced fiction thriller told in the flashy, cinematic style of National Treasure hit films. Wicked Good Secrets discloses how a wicked secret double-encrypted in an 18th century diary intersects dramatically with 16th century Vatican art under the U.S. Capitol dome from which a gadfly journalist plunges to his death.

Author Janice Law teams a former criminal court judge with an Indian chief to unravel America's most stubborn historic mystery: the two-century old disappearance the U.S. Capitol cornerstone.

Dangerous clues climax in a dark, isolated Washington, D.C. cemetery where human and nonhuman forces threaten the duo's investigation and their lives.

Janice Law has created some memorable characters in situations I, a multi-decade resident of DC, could not imagine would have some historical basis in my adopted city. Very fun read. Ginnyesq.

Wicked Good Crypto Fun
Amazon review
5 Star

Janice Law has outdone herself with her latest foray into historically-steeped fiction, this one centered on the age-old practice of cryptography. Professional codebreakers, codebreaker wannabes, and just plain puzzle people, in particular, will find Janice's dramatic treatment of secret writing methodologies engaging and entertaining. For the rest of us, Janice has penned yet another wickedly good yarn, with our glorious nation's capital at the epicenter. Can a wickedly good feature film or a TV miniseries be next? L KRSH VR!
