Years before the News of the World phone hacking scandal implicated the venerable Scotland Yard, another cover-up took place . . . when the head of one of the largest private banks in Italy was found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge.
At the time, it was ruled a suicide. But was it?
When City of London Police Inspector Nigel Lyman is assigned to investigate the death of a notorious Italian Banker found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge in London, the inquiry leads him to the Amiens and Chartres cathedrals in France in pursuit of a shadowy arch criminal -- leader of a corrupt Masonic lodge, the I Four -- intent on acquiring an ancient Gnostic Gospel whose discovery would undermine the very foundations of Christianity.
Booklist called GOSPEL TRUTHS, "a splendid, tautly woven thriller ... (and) an intelligent mystery of tremendous spiritual and literary depth." Library Journal said," By turns contemplative, descriptive, and emotive, this mixture of mystery and intrigue reveals intense preparation and fine writing." And Mostly Murder characterized it, "A fascinating mystery ... captivating and engrossing."
Published by Bantam (Random House) a decade before The Da Vinci Code, now available as an eBook for just $0.99 cents, read the religious mystery that started it all.
The character of the Archibishop in GOSPEL TRUTHS is modeled on my cousin, Paul Marcinkus, Archbishop, former head of the Vatican Bank (IOR), and once Mayor of the Vatican City.
