If you like spy novels and stories about secret Catholic power groups, then this novel's elaborate conspiracies will appeal to you. Silva matches up a top Israeli secret agent against the Catholic Crux Vera and its hired thugs. Silva convincingly sets the scene and builds plot complexity gradually, as a murder investigation uncovers Catholic ties to Hitler's Germany and their lack of protest against the Holocaust. This is clearly fiction, but there's just enough plausibility in the skillfully built setting and characters to make this a satisfying read. 397 p.
