Overview
For more than 500 years, the best intelligence service in the world has been run from a palace in Vatican City, home of the Pope. To the world, the Vatican spy service doesn't officially exist. But it does to Maddie Lynch, as the Vatican spies need her help... Magdalena ""Maddie"" Lynch, 29, never set out to be the Vatican's Jane Bond. She is a hard partying Oxford grad turned lowly New York City TV segment producer, and a lapsed Catholic. Even she can't see herself as a Vatican spy. Yet the very real evil of the world confronts her so harshly that she can't say no to the Vatican spymaster, especially if fighting evil will help her solve the mystery of how her father died in a war in Lebanon. But first she has to deal with: A murdered priest. Who stole more than 250 million Euros from the Vatican. A rogue Catholic group that wants to start a new Crusade. A US presidential candidate who wants total war in the Middle East. And the Pope is coming to America... Maddie's life as a spy begins when the Vatican needs a secular, smart outsider to pursue their investigation of the murdered priest and the missing money. Maddie is their woman. And so the Vatican spymaster sends Maddie on a quest that takes her around the world, to New York, to Dublin, to Jerusalem, and ever closer to the stunning assassin who killed the priest, while keeping a few steps ahead of the smart, sexy Israeli agent who just might want to help Maddie-or want her dead. When Maddie discovers that the murdered priest and the stolen money and the murder of her father are all lining up, the killers come after her. If Maddie wants to keep fighting evil, she will have to save herself...
