Chiara was reading a novel, oblivious to the television,\u003cbr\u003e which was muted. On the screen was a live shot of St. Peter's Basilica. Gabriel\u003cbr\u003e raised the volume and learned that an old friend had died ...\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eGabriel\u003cbr\u003e Allon has slipped quietly into Venice for a much-needed holiday with his wife\u003cbr\u003e and two young children. But when Pope Paul VII dies suddenly, Gabriel is\u003cbr\u003e summoned to Rome by the Holy Father's loyal private secretary, Archbishop Luigi\u003cbr\u003e Donati. A billion Catholic faithful have been told that the pope died of a\u003cbr\u003e heart attack. Donati, however, has two good reasons to suspect his master was\u003cbr\u003e murdered. The Swiss Guard who was standing watch outside the papal apartments the\u003cbr\u003e night of the pope's death is missing. So, too, is the letter the Holy Father\u003cbr\u003e was writing during the final hours of his life. A letter that was addressed to\u003cbr\u003e Gabriel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile researching in the Vatican\u003cbr\u003e Secret Archives, I came upon a most remarkable book ...\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe\u003cbr\u003e book is a long-suppressed gospel that calls into question the accuracy of the New\u003cbr\u003e Testament's depiction of one of the most portentous events in human history.\u003cbr\u003e For that reason alone, the Order of St. Helena will stop at nothing to keep it\u003cbr\u003e out of Gabriel's hands. A shadowy Catholic society with ties to the European\u003cbr\u003e far right, the Order is plotting to seize control of the papacy. And it is only\u003cbr\u003e the beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the\u003cbr\u003e cardinals gather in Rome for the start of the conclave, Gabriel sets out on a\u003cbr\u003e desperate search for proof of the Order's conspiracy, and for a long-lost\u003cbr\u003e gospel with the power to put an end to two thousand years of murderous hatred.\u003cbr\u003e His quest will take him from the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, to a monastery in\u003cbr\u003e Assisi, to the hidden depths of the Secret Archives, and finally to the Sistine\u003cbr\u003e Chapel, where he will witness an event no outsider has ever before seen--the\u003cbr\u003e sacred passing of the Keys of St. Peter to a newly elected pope.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eSwiftly\u003cbr\u003e paced and elegantly rendered, The Order will hold readers spellbound, from its\u003cbr\u003e opening passages to its breathtaking final twist of plot. It is a novel of\u003cbr\u003e friendship and faith in a perilous and uncertain world. And it is still more\u003cbr\u003e proof that Daniel Silva is his generation's finest writer of suspense and\u003cbr\u003e international intrigue. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53670682165521,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780062834843.jpg?v=1781512071","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-the-order-by-daniel-silva","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
