Religion! Politics! Sex! Racism! The Four Forbidden Topics!
World renowned Theologist Professor Matthew Davenport is summoned to appear in Vatican City. He has been selected by the Roman Curia from a pool of elite archaeologists to lead a team in confirming the authenticity of the remains of Simon Peter, Jesus’ first disciple.
Prior to his trip, Professor Davenport finds himself persuaded by Josh Miller, one of Washington, D.C.’s Assistant United Stated Attorney to assist in sorting through the Roman Catholic Church’s bureaucracy. Miller is more than convinced that the church has hidden endless money trails expanding across the globe which has supported priests in eluding authorities and escaping prosecution for decades in the worst scandal of its two-thousand-year history.
Unbeknown to Davenport, Miller is further advanced in his mission than the Professor realizes. However, one major piece of the puzzle has slipped from under the nose of the District Attorney’s Office.
As the plot thickens surrounding the world’s largest religious institution, Davenport becomes entangled in a web of deception. What he discovered while at the Vatican makes him question the very foundation of Catholicism.
Will the Holy See continue to avoid the clutches of justice? Or will buried secrets finally come to light? What’s ultimately discovered inside the walls of Vatican City will alter history as you know it, change the way you view the Catholic Church forever, and could possibly cost Davenport his life!
