Welcome, and thank you for visiting my corner of the world.
I’m Archer Campbell, author of the Cole & Vialli Adventures—international thrillers where history, art, and hidden knowledge collide. My stories explore the secrets buried in architecture, manuscripts, and museums, and the extraordinary lengths people will go to protect the past… or rewrite it.
My debut novel, The Mosaic Key, follows museum researcher Ethan Cole and art historian Clara Vialli as they unravel a centuries-old mystery stretching from Venice to London and Cairo. It’s the first in a series designed for readers who love fast-paced puzzles, atmospheric locations, and conspiracies rooted in real history.
Here on the site, you’ll find updates on new releases, behind-the-scenes research notes, and a growing archive of the inspirations that shape the series. I’m grateful you’re here, and I hope these stories spark your curiosity as much as writing them has sparked mine. Welcome to the adventure.

The Mosaic Key
A centuries-old secret lies hidden in plain sight, etched in glass, buried in art, and guarded by those who would kill to protect it.
When museum researcher Ethan Cole uncovers a Byzantine mosaic embedded with strange geometric patterns, he’s drawn into a conspiracy that spans centuries. With art historian Clara Vialli, he follows a trail of symbols and manuscripts from Venice to London and Cairo, uncovering the legend of a lost archive, the Mosaic Key, that holds the power to rewrite history itself.
