This is a work of fiction, but one is hardpressed to see it that way. The scandals amongst the Vatican, the Cosa Nostra, the US Mafia, the Latin American connection all rang true, and with good reason. Growing up with much of what went on in this book, I saw the truth behind the author's story. This may seem incredible to a lot of people, but Janet took away the seeming impossibility of the story for me. She has creds. Lots of them. ( )

Vatican financial blunders, murder and conspiracy. Wow does she weave a tale with enough authenticity to make it a plausible story. ( )
