If you thought that Father Marco Venetti went through enough in the previous book and that it was high time he returned to his quiet home town, is very much mistaken. The author has a few more adventures up his sleeve for our priest.
Italy, Portugal, USA and Greece. These are the places Marco takes us on. It seems like a great tour to be on but it’s certainly not a peaceful holiday he is taking. In fact it’s not a holiday at all. He spends his time dodging bullets, trying to find a traitor, struggling with his feelings and most importantly staying alive.
Will he succeed in all of the above or has the enemy other plans?
You expect murder and betrayal being on top of the list with the mob, but shouldn’t people of the clergy not have other things on their minds? Most of them will agree. Unfortunately some of them see it differently and give in to the lure of money.
Another fast paced book that has you nailed to your seat. I was very happy to meet this James Bond dressed in a cassock again. 5 stars

Thank you, Peter Hogenkamp and Bookouture

How on earth did I miss book 1? What a travesty! Soon to be remedied by reading book 1.

Marco Vanetti is mix of priest & James Bond. This priest has a military past and he's going to have to use it in the hunt for nuclear weapons and ferreting out the plot to destroy Vatican City. Marco is not your average priest, he's had a bit of an..ahem, interlude with Elena and Sara seems to also find out intrepid priest easy on the eyes!

Marco has the ear of the pope (who kept popping into my head as Morgan Freeman LOL). He's after the Russian Mafia, not an easy task. Lots of intrigue and megalomaniacal plots. Just goes to show just because the players may be religious, they can still be power-hungry egotists.

From Italy to Greece, to Portugal, to the USA and back to Italy. Marco and the team get around.

Fast paced, tightly crafted, great characters. Now have to go read book 1 to get the start of the story LOL

Father Marco Venetti is back and still trying to get the two nuclear weapons that someone is trying to use to destroy the Vatican and the Pope. And still trying to find out who the traitor in the Vatican is who is assisting in this terrible plot. Traveling across Europe and encountering one obstacle after another, Marco can hardly keep going, but knows he must.
