From Daniel Silva, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers The
New Girl and The Other Woman, comes a stunning new action-packed
thriller of high stakes international intrigue featuring the
enigmatic art restorer and master spy Gabriel Allon. LOST FOR
CENTURIES, ONE BOOK HOLDS THE KEY. Legendary spy and art restorer
Gabriel Allon has slipped into Venice for a much-needed holiday
with his wife and two young children. But when Pope Paul VII dies
suddenly, Gabriel is summoned to Rome by the Holy Father's loyal
private secretary, Archbishop Luigi Donati. A billion Catholic
faithful have been told that the pope died of a heart attack.
Donati, however, has two good reasons to suspect his master was
murdered. The Swiss Guard who was standing watch the night of the
pope's death is missing. So, too, is the letter the Holy Father was
writing during the final hours of his life. A letter that was
addressed to an old friend: Gabriel. While researching in the
Vatican Secret Archives, I came upon a most remarkable book ... The
book is a long-suppressed gospel that calls into question the
accuracy of the New Testament's depiction of one of the most
portentous events in human history. For that reason alone, the
Order of St. Helena will stop at nothing to keep it out of
Gabriel's hands. A shadowy Catholic society with ties to the
European far right, the Order is plotting to seize control of the
papacy. And it is only the beginning ...
