A Polish Priest who is a holocaust survival stole The Tetramachus Collection (A chronicle of the activities of The Nazis and the Vatican during the second world war) and gave it to Sabatini (a millionaire Marxist Italian publisher) to publish but there are many important persons who wished the Tetramachus collection not to be published. Some of this important persons are within the Vatican while some are outside the Vatican and both groups are ready to do anything including but not limited to murder to stop this publication and before you know it dead bodies started appearing. This book is an interesting book though I hardly read religious fiction but this one was not about religion but about the working of the Vatican, I guess I know more about the Vatican city through this book than any other book I have read,the suspense was superb, the dialogue excellent, characters loveable and the setting was marvellous. If you like Robert Ludlum or Frederick Forsythe you will surely love this book,I will give this book 4 Stars and I hope to read all the author's work.

Though a true life story the narrative was never boring. Alex and Elena were something else and I love both characters,The writer's description of an African visiting president left much to be desired.Great read anyway!...more
