Product Description
Vatican City, 29 September 1978: the world wakes to the shocking news that Pope John Paul I is dead, just a month after his accession.
Thirty years later, in London, young journalist Sarah Monteiro receives a mysterious package. Enclosed is a list of names and a coded message.
Moments later a masked assassin attempts to silence her for ever. It seems Sarah holds the key to unveiling a deadly secret - a plot that implicates unscrupulous mercenaries and crooked politicians, and which goes to the very heart of the Vatican. Sarah has no choice but to run, forced into a ruthless game of cat-and-mouse. She can trust no one, especially when her father's name appears on the incriminating list.
Sarah finds herself at the centre of a world-wide conspiracy its keepers will stop at nothing to protect.

This is quite simply one of the worst books I have ever read. This is a great shame as on the face of it the book covers an interesting conspiracy theory surrounding the death of Pope John Paul the First.
Unfortunately the writing is simply appalling (this could be due to the translation, but I suspect not), the characters are unbelievable and the plot is risible. Why does everyone suddenly go off to New York for no apparent reason?
I did not dislike this book due to the unlikely nature of the story. I can accept bizarre plots and any variety of conspiracy however far fetched, but the story has to be well told, which this patently is not.
This book is even worse than the Da Vince Code!

It seems that this was more appealling than I had at first thought it was going to be. I bought this on trip to the US earlier in the year. It seems to have a degree of truth about it - or am I just one to enjoy conspiracy theories.
There seems to be comparison with the work of Dan Brown; I would say that this is better!

An absorbing read throughout; the way each chapter moves quickly from scene to scene enables the reader to be fully captivated right until the end. Can't wait to read 'The Holly Bullet'.

Rip off of The Da Vinci Code
This book is a total rip off, and a tedious one at that. An exact replica of the Da Vinci Code - it even starts in exactly the same way with a character running from an assassin. Read more

Dan Brown need not worry!
Saw the other, positive reviews, liked the idea of another 'church related' conspiracy book so took a chance.... Read more
