From the publisher

Murder Lorenzo the Magnificent?

A devout Catholic soldier struggles to obey his Pope even after he has been befriended by Lorenzo.

A beautiful girl loses the love of Lorenzo's handsome brother and resorts to witchcraft to regain it.

A Greek scholar seeks revenge for the death of his lover twenty-five years earlier.

From the unfinished Sistine Chapel, to the altar beneath Brunelleschi's dome, to the fire tunnels under the great Theodosian Wall in besieged Constantinople, Lorenzo's Assassin tells three intertwined stories of love, vengeance and forgiveness.


Lorenzo's Assassin is John Van Roekel's third book, joining his World War II home front novel, Prisoner Moon, and his epic Buffalo Soldiers novel, Braver Deeds. John lives in sunny San Diego with his wife, Pam.

About the author

About John Van Roekel In 1994 while living in Ann Arbor, Michigan, John Van Roekel finished reading Nathan Miller's excellent biography Theodore Roosevelt: A Life, and the next morning he told his astonished wife Pam that he was going to write a novel. Miller's description of the African-American cavalry soldiers who fought beside Roosevelt in Cuba inspired John to write Braver Deeds, published fifteen years later in 2009. After moving to San Diego in 2001, John started work on his World War II home front novel, Prisoner Moon. It's the story of a young German soldier who is captured in France after D-Day and finds himself in a POW camp in Michigan. It was published in 2012. John completed his third historical novel in 2016. Lorenzo's Assassin is set against the backdrop of the Pazzi Conspiracy when Pope Sixtus IV plotted to murder Lorenzo the Magnificent. Not withstanding the religious themes in Lorenzo's Assassin, John is not religious. In addition, John has edited the World War II letters of his father, Paul Van Roekel. They are available on this web site, johnvanroekel.com. After a forty year career as a software engineer, John retired in 2012. Much of his life now revolves around his wife, Pam Simpson, as well as writing, hiking and attending classes at SDSU and UCSD. Wanting to keep his hand in as a software engineer, John developed a game for iOS named Walkers 3D, which is now on the Apple App Store. John is a proud member of San Diego Writers, Ink, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting San Diego writers. He urges all writers in the San Diego area to visit sandiegowriters.org. More information about John is available at johnvanroekel.com and facebook.com/johnvanroekel. John is available for readings and book club discussions in the San Diego area.
