Description

Secrets, lies and murder in the heart of the Vatican. The thrilling new instalment in the Private series. A priest is murdered and a Private agent is the number one suspect. Jack Morgan is in Rome celebrating the opening of a new local Private office, when the party takes a deadly turn. Private agent Matteo Ricci is found at the party standing over the body of a dead priest with a gun in hand, swearing he did not kill the man. As Jack tries to prove Matteo's innocence, he uncovers a much deadlier conspiracy - which leads him straight to the heart of the Vatican. With corruption closing in on all sides, Jack must decide who he can trust before the city falls.

No one gets this big without natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades -- Lee Child
Patterson boils a scene down to a single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind -- MICHAEL CONNELLY
James Patterson is The Boss. End of. -- Ian Rankin
