The Traitor has all the ingredients you expect from a successful thriller trilogy, a breathtaking storyline, brilliant writing with plenty of suspense and a stunning finale. Captain Kat Tapo is a Captain in the Carabinieri and she has been given her first murder investigation to lead, but like all things she soon discovers things may not be as straightforward as they should be. A body discovered on an exclusive beach outside Venice has been found in Freemason garb minus his tongue and his neck is severed and she is being told by the Medical Examiner that things will be tough as many in the Carabinieri were Freemasons.
She has a new deputy who is being sick at the sight of a dead body who is there to spy on her. Not much could go wrong from there with every door closing in front of her. She is at home in the USA when she discovers a memo written by her father before his stroke and locked in syndrome robbed him of his life. The memo is written about CIA activity in Italy and what it may or may not have done in the years of trouble there. Daniele Barbo is still locking himself away from the people of Venice in his decaying Palace while he decides what to do with Carnivia.
He still has many unresolved issues that cause him to be distant from most people he is considering just giving Carnivia away to its users and this alone could cause chaos that he has not foreseen. In Libya a younger hacker is showing an Imam and a Commander how through the use of technology and the internet you can cause enough chaos from one place without much effort and get maximum effect.
He shows them both that they can cause disaster in Italy from another country as he switches off the fans in the Frejus road tunnel and the cars start to pile up and the fire kills deaths follow, they are impressed and send him to Italy to plan and action an attack. As Kat, Holly and Daniele progress with their various inquiries they start to uncover the answers that have haunted them across the trilogy. As the end becomes closer their investigations come together with surprising outcomes and the reader finally gets the answers they have asked throughout the trilogy.
This is a stylish and intelligent thriller that delivers on all levels for the reader to enjoy and at the same time saddening as we may not see these characters again. A wonderful thriller, a fantastic end to the trilogy.

And after such a stylish and high-intensity thriller too. While not as harrowing as its predecessor, it deals with the threat of a terrorist attack in Venice, with a combination of hacking and bombing being planned as part of a greater anti-American campaign.

I don't think this should be the end of the series. I still think there's much to learn about Daniele Barbo in particular, although the urgent and extensive repairs being done to his manor serve as a great metaphor for him having to step back from his life and maybe just That being said, though A slightly sad but neat conclusion to the Carnivia trilogy, and such a gripping book.
Holt's books aren't heavy going, but they are page turners, and I love the way he mixes the modern history and of course some older history!

In this one we've got just what a scary monster the internet can be, along with that fear that the secret services are watching everything you do, and have more of a hand in world events that you might like to think.
A Venetian banker is found on the beach, seemingly killed in a ritualistic masonic way. Kat Tapo is back investigating, and naturally her investigation turns out to be tied in with skulduggery going on in Daniele's Carnivia, and the back story of Holly the good-girl American solider who is about to have the very foundations of the good old USA rocked from beneath her feet.
Can't really fault this trilogy. The Traitor is the third book in the Carnivia trilogy by Jonathan Holt. The first two books: Now I first want to gripe about something that has nothing to do with the content of the books. I want to gripe about renaming books. It seems to be a trend to have different titles for the European and the American market.
It only causes confusion. It happens a lot with thrillers and fantasy books the Harry Potter series as well.

The Abomination was a great title that really linked to the story. Please stop this nonsense of renaming books. Anyway, back to the book. The characters are believable, the story is exciting, the descriptions of food and drink in the book are mouth-watering and the backdrop of Venice adds to the atmosphere. With thrillers like this you have to take some of the events and actions as they come and accept them without question. It would take the writer too long to explain everything and that would make the book too long and would take the pace out of the story.
Holt does give some background information on the way political games were played and uses events that actually took place, sometimes twisting them a bit to fit the story. All in all, it is a great read with a conclusion that could be taken as an opening for more books about these main characters wishful thinking on my part.

I really recommend this trilogy to people who like well-researched page-turners with likeable but basic characters. Jan 17, Tina rated it it was amazing. I'd say, it's the most underrated book, I've seen on this web-site so far. It was a real page-turner!
I loved everything in this book -the plot, the place - Venice, the characters In my opinion, it deserved much more interest, than it got Besides, to be honest, the cover of the book, I've read was a bit dull and it said nothing about such an intriguing story, whereas I'd say, it's the most underrated book, I've seen on this web-site so far. Besides, to be honest, the cover of the book, I've read was a bit dull and it said nothing about such an intriguing story, whereas the cover of "The Absolution" reflects it much better.

It leads her to believe there was a cover up during the Cold War that could have led to the death of her father. Daniel Barbo, the creator of Venice as a virtual world known as Carnivia, learns that someone has hacked his software with the intention of using Carnivia to cause a major catastrophe. The three story lines converge from intriguing smaller plots, to a larger conspiracy involving terrorists, the CIA, and Freemasons.
It is intelligent, detailed in terms of plot, location, and character, and highly engaging. Questions about Daniel Barbo's kidnappers from the earlier books are answered, Holly Boland discovers the truth about her past which leads to a dark unexpected resolution, and Kat Tapo matures as a Carabinieri Officer. She has to get to grips with a personal tragedy, and learns what innocent people are capable of when they are confronted with the truth.
It's an emotional end to an original and riveting trilogy which leaves the reader fully satisfied with the ending.
The Absolution (The Carnivia Trilogy, #3) by Jonathan Holt
We learn new aspects to older characters that adds a richness and depth which makes this an above average thriller.

I am under no obligation to leave a review or rating and do so voluntarily. So that others may also enjoy this book, I am paying it forward by donating it to a senior assisted living facility. Excellent This was brilliant. A very convoluted story showing how the CIA manipulated Italian politics during the seventies to the present day. I can only compare this series of books to the Millennium series and recommend it to anyone.

The choice of Venice as a setting works well and the flavour of the city is well established from an early point. Attention to detail pays dividends as in the full description of Italian dishes which whet the appetite in more than one way. The main characters are well conceived with their strengths and weaknesses fully explored.
