Matt Borne

I'm Matt Borne—wordsmith by trade, weaving tales where shadows lurk and mysteries abound. By day, I navigate the cobblestone streets of an Italian town; by night, I conjure stories that keep you turning pages till dawn.

My Luigi Ferro series throws you headfirst into the murky depths of Italian crime, where danger wears an Armani suit and justice comes with a side of espresso.

But I don't just stick to Italy—my storytelling passport has plenty of stamps. The De Wever mysteries take you to Brussels, Belgium and the world of arts and antiquities - and murder.

Or if archeological conspiracies with heart-pounding action are more your speed, crack open The Cipher of Eden. Think Dan Brown meets Indiana Jones, minus the fedora—though I've got one handy, for the Italian sun.
