A gripping story of power, secrets, and the women who dare to challenge the system. “Three”, the powerful political noir by Italian author Letitia Fontana, is arriving for American readers this fall.
Set in the corridors of power of Washington, “Three” explores the hidden mechanisms behind influence, reputation, and control. At the center of the novel are three women whose lives collide in a world where truth has a price and silence can be the most valuable currency.
Megan Pike knows how Washington works. She is the person called when problems must disappear, public narratives must be shaped, and secrets must remain buried. Intelligent, ruthless, and deeply connected to the machinery of power, Megan has built her life protecting those who operate in the shadows.
Across the political divide stands Evelyn West, a District Attorney determined to fight a system that has repeatedly tried to silence her. As she investigates forces larger than herself, she is forced to confront not only the enemies in front of her but also the personal sacrifices behind her choices.
Meanwhile, Jess is fighting a quieter but equally important battle: the struggle to exist without fear and to find her voice in a world that often overlooks those without power.
When a young woman disappears, Washington’s carefully constructed walls begin to crack. The investigation reveals a web of secrets, ambition, and moral compromises that connects the lives of Megan, Evelyn, and Jess in unexpected ways.
With a sharp eye for political intrigue and human complexity, Letitia Fontana delivers a tense and emotionally charged novel about power, justice, and the cost of exposing the truth.
The U.S. edition of “THREE” will be available in fall 2026 in print and digital formats. “Three” has already earned enthusiastic early reader reviews in Italy, with readers praising its gripping political intrigue, layered female protagonists, and cinematic pacing.
