"A provocative book in which every sort of dogma is questioned and every sort of preconceived idea turned on its head."
The Sunday Mail
"A classy action thriller."
The Sunday Times
A captivating novel of international intrigue
and conspiracy.
The Pope's health is failing and the Cardinal Secretary of State, the ruthless Lorenzo Petroni, has the Keys to St Peter within his grasp. Three things threaten to destroy him: Cardinal Giovanni Donelli has started an investigation into the Vatican Bank; journalist Tom Schweiker is looking into Petroni's past; and, even more dangerously, the brilliant Dr Allegra Bassetti, one of the world's foremost authorities on archaeological DNA, is piecing together fragments of the Omega Scroll in war-torn Jerusalem. At the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, Mike McKinnon is investigating a number of missing nuclear suitcase bombs and suspects they are connected to the warning in the Omega Scroll. In the Judaean Desert a few more grains of sand trickle from the wall of a cave. The countdown for civilisation has begun.
"Jim Daly is so talented at portraying a multitude of characters and keeping them all distinct that the listener always knows who is speaking. And all of his talents are called upon in this complex novel of intrigue involving the Catholic Church, Arab terrorists, the Israeli Army, and a team of archaeologists pursuing the elusive Omega Scroll, which has been locked away in a Vatican vault for years. While Daly's Italian and Italian accents are perfect, his Israeli accents and Hebrew are not as strong and not always consistent. However, his emotional range does not disappoint."
