Secret of the Assassin

Bridget and Scott Donavan told the world they had located the true Crown of Thorns, the staff of St. Peter, and some ancient sacred text scared to both Christian and Islamic faiths. Unfortunately, they had given their promise of silence to the Vatican representative for four million dollars. Multiple twisting circumstances lead them believe the Holy See has released the information and the Vatican believes the Donavans broke their commitment. The Papal office subsequently denied all claims made by the Donavans. They are characterized to the world as perpetrators of a grand hoax. This has dire consequences for Bridget and Scott Donavan. At this same time, the archenemy of the Donavans has sent two separate assassins to eliminate Bridget for her deliberate infliction of death on a member of his family. He has sworn to destroy her. He will not give up until she is dead. They found the ancient sacred relic, the crown of thorns. They gave their word to keep that secret for money. They broke their word and the repercussions are devastating.
