21. I just finished The Vatican Dictator by Alan Bayer, and boy is it a doozy!

A hidden journal penned by Pope Pius XII exposes his secret manipulation of Adolf Hitler's ascent to power, revealing a clandestine control over the Nazi regime that could redefine history.

As Mario delves deeper, he and his best friend Roberto are ensnared in a deadly web of Vatican secrecy and deceit. Facing relentless pursuit by those desperate to bury the truth, they navigate a perilous path between faith and fact.

Torn between the sanctity of his vows and the imperative of truth, Mario faces the ultimate Can he bear the burden of this knowledge, or will he risk everything to bring the dark past to light?

Drawing on the thrilling essence of classics like The Da Vinci Code and the intricate mystery of the Vatican Secret Archive Thrillers, The Vatican Dictator is a gripping tale of faith, betrayal, and the quest for truth. It invites readers into a labyrinth of intrigue where the stakes extend beyond personal salvation to the very understanding of history itself.

Early in the week I finished It Happened in Silence by Karla Jay. I really liked this book! In fact I read all night until I finished it. Loved the characters and the story line.
