THE SERIES:

PRINCE D’ARCY DE MONTEBELLO© is the first in the Monstrance series of five mystery novels by John Joseph Kennedy – Prince D’Arcy de Montebello, The White Party, Monstrance, Monstrosities and Savannah. The first three books are written.

Prince D’Arcy de Montebello opens the series and introduces characters based in part on real persons and an event that actually happened, Prince D’Arcy de Montebello sets the stage for the coup de grâce—the theft of a rare million dollar religious artifact known as a monstrance, used in the Catholic Church for high benediction. This one-of-kind and sacred monstrance is made of pure platinum and designed in the image of the Virgin Queen Mary holding a sunburst encrusted with 911 precious diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires. In the heart of the sunburst is a glass locket, containing the Holy Eucharist; symbolically the body and blood of Christ.

Kennedy’s true-life personal quest to find the stolen monstrance is a 21st century version of the search for the Holy Grail. And incredibly, to Kennedy’s surprise, he unlocks his own family’s mysterious D’Arcy Code - clues and secrets that connect all the crimes together in a mind-blowing conclusion. Kennedy challenges the reader to do the same by breaking the codes he has secretly and cleverly embedded in the series.

THE MONSTRANCE© SERIES takes the reader on a wild goose—or gander?--chase through a series of episodes that ultimately climax in solving a mystery that accidentally sheds light on secrets of the ancients that were never supposed to have been revealed. Riveting and ribald, Monstrance© is a tour de force destined to be a literary classic!
