Publisher, Time Warner AudioBooks (1998)

When L.A. entertainment lawyer Harry Addison gets the call that his brother, Danny, has been killed in a bus explosion in Italy, he rushes to Rome bring the body home. But Harry is about to discover how difficult and dangerous that seemingly simple task will be.

At the Rome airport, Harry is informed that Danny is suspected of murdering the Cardinal Vicar of Rome, one of the Pope's closest advisors. Moreover, Harry is accused of being an accomplice.

Harry Addison is blind-sided as he becomes entangled in a deadly insider-plot of apocalyptic proportions. The body Harry is asked to identify is not Danny after all. Harry's search for his brother leads him to a megalomaniac within the Catholic Church—the cardinal closest to the Pope himself—who conspires to rebuild the Holy Roman Empire by using mass murder to force the conversion of China to Catholicism. Harry finds himself faced with an almost impossible duel mission: to find Danny —and to save the world from this unspeakable evil.

From the author of the blockbuster New York Times debut bestseller, The Day After Tomorrow comes a new international thriller.
