This is a novel, yet it is also a mystery. There is much in it about the machinations of the Vatican state. It IS fiction, so hopefully it is just that - fiction. It doesn't put the Vatican in a very good light, showing much too much politics.

The descriptions of Seville is beautiful. I could almost feel the breeze and smell the air there! Someone has hacked into the Pope's personal computer. This action sends an investigator to a tiny, almost forgotten church in Seville. This mystery is laced with corruption of the town leaders and the Church. A good read, and a page turner!

a page turner - very interesting look into the catholic church - way better than the dan brown series
Translated well. One phrase, 'the former fake lawyer' is better in English than in Spanish. Brought back lovely memories of Seville. Didn't care for one of the main characters, Fr Quart, a Vatican diplomat.
Makes me want to visit Seville. On par with _The Club Dumas_. Author weaves history with the fictional story to create an interesting plot and memorable characters.
