After nearly 400 years, an emerald-encrusted gold pectoral cross
belonging to the Catholic Church is discovered by two salvage
divers off the coast of Bermuda. Carried by an Augustinian friar on
the ill-fated Spanish galleon San Pedro, which sank in 1596, the
cross contains a priceless hidden key. The divers want it for the
money. The Bermuda government wants it for its historical value. A
group of cardinals known as the "Silenti" want it for the key
hidden inside. Only one of the divers and the cardinals are aware
of the key. Only the cardinals know of its significance to the
Papacy. Displayed in the Bermuda Maritime Museum since its
discovery, it is not until Queen Elizabeth's visit to the island
nine years later that the cross in the museum is found to be a
fake. Who made the forgery and who stole the original cross? Who
has the key and what is its significance to the Church? Inspired by
real events, the crime on which The Cross is based remains one of
Bermuda's greatest unsolved mysteries. Fact and fiction are
skilfully woven together throughout this debut novel from author B.
R. Bentley as the characters conspire to achieve their aims.
