Brotherhood of the Tomb

SECRETS BEST UNKNOWN

An Irish priest is slaughtered on his own altar, A KGB agent is smothered with "666" scrawled on his shaven head. And Patrick Canavan, a bitter ex-CIA agent, plunges into a maze of treachery spanning three continents and two thousand years.

Hunted by monklike assassins, Canavan runs headlong into a poisonous web spun by the secretive Brotherhood of the Tomb. Each strand intersects with others, leading to further mystery and danger, reaching back to the Middle Ages, to the time of Jesus, to the present, and to a bizarre plot of death in the Vatican.

Fascinated and terrified, Canavan risks everything to travel deeper into the murderous unreality of the mystical Brotherhood ...where even the dead are not safe.
