The Church has always been intrinsically linked to politics, although it would never admit that. Information is the most valuable commodity of the 21st century, a power which can be used to either create or destroy.
- It is behind the Vatican walls that strategies, and means that can change the world are being developed.
One of them, stored on a memory stick, has exactly that power. Giuseppe, a long-serving employee of archbishop Luca receives a seemingly straightforward task of delivering the information to the Monastery.
- This information is more valuable than the life of one man and Guiseppe owes a debt of gratitude to the archbishop.
- A major threat to the Church turns out to be the Church itself.
- There is an enemy on the inside and hence special precautions are necessary.
- Expect plot twists worthy of the best action films.
- A tense, deftly written thriller of goings-on in the highest ecclesiastical echelons.
- How much of it is fiction and how much a record of actual recent events?
- The authors depict the Vatican structures and customs with great fluency.
- The Church is in dire need of reform but at what price?
Shootings, chases, murders ...
