Chiara was reading a novel, oblivious to the television,\nwhich was muted. On the screen was a live shot of St. Peter’s Basilica. Gabriel\nraised the volume and learned that an old friend had died …\n\nGabriel\nAllon has slipped quietly into Venice for a much-needed holiday with his wife\nand two young children. But when Pope Paul VII dies suddenly, Gabriel is\nsummoned to Rome by the Holy Father’s loyal private secretary, Archbishop Luigi\nDonati. A billion Catholic faithful have been told that the pope died of a\nheart attack. Donati, however, has two good reasons to suspect his master was\nmurdered. The Swiss Guard who was standing watch outside the papal apartments the\nnight of the pope’s death is missing. So, too, is the letter the Holy Father\nwas writing during the final hours of his life. A letter that was addressed to\nGabriel.\nWhile researching in the Vatican\nSecret Archives, I came upon a most remarkable book …\n\nThe\nbook is a long-suppressed gospel that calls into question the accuracy of the New\nTestament’s depiction of one of the most portentous events in human history.\nFor that reason alone, the Order of St. Helena will stop at nothing to keep it\nout of Gabriel’s hands. A shadowy Catholic society with ties to the European\nfar right, the Order is plotting to seize control of the papacy. And it is only\nthe beginning.\n\nAs the\ncardinals gather in Rome for the start of the conclave, Gabriel sets out on a\ndesperate search for proof of the Order’s conspiracy, and for a long-lost\ngospel with the power to put an end to two thousand years of murderous hatred.\nHis quest will take him from the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, to a monastery in\nAssisi, to the hidden depths of the Secret Archives, and finally to the Sistine\nChapel, where he will witness an event no outsider has ever before seen—the\nsacred passing of the Keys of St. Peter to a newly elected pope.\n\nSwiftly\npaced and elegantly rendered, The Order will hold readers spellbound, from its\nopening passages to its breathtaking final twist of plot. It is a novel of\nfriendship and faith in a perilous and uncertain world. And it is still more\nproof that Daniel Silva is his generation’s finest writer of suspense and\ninternational intrigue.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062834843\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0062834843.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Silva, Daniel\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43242367844413,"sku":"BVV.0062834843.VG","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0062834843-0.jpg?v=1780262274","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-order-a-novel-gabriel-allon-20","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
