About the Author
Francis Caiazza was born into an Italian-American family that immigrated to Western Pennsylvania from a small town near Naples, Italy––Riardo in the province of Caserta. For fifteen years he practiced law in New Castle, PA. His last official act as a lawyer was to argue a case before the United States Supreme Court that involved an Amishman's right to freely practice his religion. The following day he was elected a state trial judge. In 1994 he was appointed to the federal bench. The Rosecross is his debut novel––a story that weaves together murder, an occult society, and a ruse that reaches into the Oval Office.
