From Daniel Silva, the internationally acclaimed #1 New York
Times–bestselling author, comes a riveting new thriller featuring art restorer
and legendary spy Gabriel Allon.
It was nearly one a.m. by the time he crawled into bed. Chiara
was reading a novel, oblivious to the television, which was muted. On the
screen was a live shot of St. Peter’s Basilica. Gabriel raised the volume and
learned that an old friend had died …
The
Order ,Gabriel Allon has slipped quietly into Venice for a
much-needed holiday with his wife and two young children. But when Pope Paul
VII dies suddenly, Gabriel is summoned to Rome by the Holy Father’s loyal
private secretary, Archbishop Luigi Donati. A billion Catholic faithful have
been told that the pope died of a heart attack. Donati, however, has two good
reasons to suspect his master was murdered. The Swiss Guard who was standing
watch outside the papal apartments the night of the pope’s death is missing.
So, too, is the letter the Holy Father was writing during the final hours of
his life. A letter that was addressed to Gabriel.
While researching in the Vatican Secret Archives, I came upon a
most remarkable book …
The
Order ,The book is a long-suppressed gospel that calls into question
the accuracy of the New Testament’s depiction of one of the most portentous
events in human history. For that reason alone, the Order of St. Helena will
stop at nothing to keep it out of Gabriel’s hands. A shadowy Catholic society
with ties to the European far right, the Order is plotting to seize control of
the papacy. And it is only the beginning.
The Order ,As
the cardinals gather in Rome for the start of the conclave, Gabriel sets out on
a desperate search for proof of the Order’s conspiracy, and for a long-lost
gospel with the power to put an end to two thousand years of murderous hatred.
His quest will take him from the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, to a monastery in
Assisi, to the hidden depths of the Secret Archives, and finally to the Sistine
Chapel, where he will witness an event no outsider has ever before seen—the
sacred passing of the Keys of St. Peter to a newly elected pope.
Swiftly
paced and elegantly rendered, The Order will hold readers spellbound, from its
opening passages to its breathtaking final twist of plot. It is a novel of
friendship and faith in a perilous and uncertain world. And it is still more
proof that Daniel Silva is his generation’s finest writer of suspense and
international intrigue.
