Publisher Description

This massive thriller pits a scheming prince of the Church who believes he was once Alexander the Great against the Addison brothers—Harry, a Hollywood lawyer, and Danny, a Vatican priest. It seems that Danny had the bad luck to hear another cardinal’s confession outlining a heinous plot to poison China’s water supply in order to win the Vatican bankers a multi-billion-dollar contract to rebuild it—and of course to take advantage of the opportunity to convert a quarter of the world’s population and ensure the Church’s world domination into the next century. Spanning the globe from Vatican City to Beijing, from Los Angeles to Switzerland, the action never stops. And whenever it seems to falter for more than a paragraph, someone among Folsom’s picaresque cast of minor characters (a nun, a dwarf, a CIA station chief, a beautiful television journalist, and an African poet, among others) turns up just in time to give it a nudge. Fans of Folsom’s intense novel The Day After Tomorrow won’t be disappointed.

"Not a mystery reader, but this one caught my attention, for the wrong reason, because of the cover of a pic of the dome of the Sistine Chapel. The author was skillful as keeping the intrigue and interest of the reader while trying to figure out "who done it" and how the characters are related."
