In the haunted aftermath of World War II, Jack Mercer-an ex-OSS operative rebuilt under a false identity-uncovers fragments of a ledger that tie Vatican financiers, Cold War intelligence services, and Ustase war criminals to a hidden network born in the ashes of Jasenovac. His hunt for the truth drags him from the Dolomites to the fog-soaked alleys of Venice, across Adriatic monasteries, and deep beneath the Vatican itself, where a rogue cardinal and a dying intelligence service wage a secret war for the soul of postwar Europe. Blending real scandals-from the Sindona-Calvi banking intrigues to CIA infiltration, Opus Dei influence, and the hidden crimes of Jasenovac-this historical thriller follows Mercer as he races to expose a conspiracy powerful enough to rewrite history, even if doing so costs him everyone he loves.
