UNHOLY TRINITY is a book impossible to put down. The end of WWII marked a beginning for this novelist, a beginning for his characters, and a beginning for the secretive escapades which follow the war. We are witness to Mussolini's downfall and then quickly emerge in present-day Rome to witness the results of a horrific murder of a well-known priest. Throughout the book, we see Rome in the 1940s, juxtaposed to today's Rome, all the while uncovering the link between the Vatican, Mussolini, and the present-day political establishment -- with intricacies entombed in the Vatican's Secret Archives . Enmeshed in the fray are a journalist and magistrate who are not left unblemished by events and who begin to experience the threat of powerful uprisings of the past. The book is paced well, moving along effortlessly and suspensefully, such that one is loathe to stop reading. Writing is very descriptive, and images of each scene pop off the page easily. This is truly a thriller to remember.

I'm a crime thriller fan and I really enjoyed this one - in fact after a few pages I couldn't put it down. Not being historical buff myself I found the historical information made interesting and the mysterious vatican de-mystified considerably!
The storyline crossed from 1945 to modern day while still keeping the main plot in focus and a few twists and turns along the way.
I particularly liked the couple of well rounded lead characters who carry the story.

This is an excellent thriller, well-written by an author who clearly knows both his history and has extensive knowledge of the city of Rome. The plot is believable - frankly, far too believable in view of the well-documented hypocrisy and dodgy dealings of the Vatican - and the action hums along nicely. A thoroughly enjoyable read, and highly recommended.
