An ambitious American pope makes powerful enemies—from the Italian
Mafia to the US President—in this fascinating thriller that “could
be next week’s news” (Daily Mail). What if the unused riches of
the Catholic Church were called upon to combat global poverty?
Following a tragic earthquake in Italy, Pope Thomas—the first
American pontiff and a transformative leader—auctions off one of the
Vatican’s Renaissance masterpieces to aid in the recovery. The sale
is such a success that he decides to go even further: organizing the
greatest art auction ever held, with the proceeds going to help the
poor. But as the pope’s charitable designs acquire political
overtones, he encounters resistance from world leaders, including the
president of the United States. And closer to the Vatican, the Mafia
have as much interest in the poor as do popes and presidents . . .
“Master of the art-world thriller” (Publishers Weekly), Peter
Watson turns his attention to a different kind of political thriller,
as Vatican Vendetta—previously published as Crusade—delivers
“nonstop action” (The Guardian).
