Summary

In 1982, Italian financier Roberto Calvi, known as “God’s Banker”, was discovered hanging under London’s Blackfriars Bridge. What wasn’t found was the briefcase he was known to have had with him the night before, reportedly stuffed with incriminating documents, a special key, and a computer disk filled with codes, which together unlock a piece of the Vatican’s troubled past.

When the briefcase mysteriously reappears in the Vatican Secret Archives, Father Michael Dominic and his team - Hana, Marco, Karl, Lukas, the feisty young nun Sister Teri, and Dominic’s new assistant, Ian - are up against two powerful and enigmatic organizations, Opus Deus and the ultra-secret, outlawed Masonic Lodge P2, who savagely fight for control of the briefcase and its contents. Their goal? To carry out one of the most dangerous conspiracies the Church has ever faced - all happening during an unexpected conclave to elect a new pope.

From Rome, Italy, to Geneva, Switzerland, join Dominic and friends as they fend off plotters, kidnappers, and blackmailers who have threaded their way into Vatican politics for decades, in a conspiracy known as The Opus Dictum.

Absolutely mind blowing action and drama,

tremendous story line, lots of historical and imaginative information and distributive dialogue. superb writer, much better than Dan Brown. Kept the action right to the end and the storytelling was a magnificent performance of different voices that added real drama and action to the story. deserved an Oscar.. Best action writer living today..

Got better as the story developed

The start was rather dry and for me slow. But as the storyline developed it became a fantastic ending to a good book.

Entertaining!

Excellent narration! Great story, particularly if you have an interest in the machinations of the Vatican and the Catholic faith. So much better that his first book ‘Vivaldi Cipher’.
