About this listen

During a visit to the United States, Pope Pius XIV is caught within the crosshairs of a lethal assassin. After scores of people are killed during an event featuring the Pope's address, a conspiracy theory emerges that the killings were conducted by one of the CIA’s own. As the data trickles in, it becomes clear that the assassin is none other than Shari Cohen.

With the Vatican Knights serving as the pontiff’s protective detail, Kimball Hayden is crushed to learn that she’s involved with the assassinations. While questions begin to rise as to why Shari Cohen performed the act, there are indications that lead to an elite assassin who was believed to be dead: Barabbas.

Now that Shari finds herself on the run from the CIA, is she the Barabbas of lore who was believed dead but has been resurrected? Was she the tool of a conspiracy who was created to fulfill a dark agenda for a foreign power? Has Shari Cohen gone rogue? Or was she always a double agent?

As these questions plague the Vatican Knights, one thing becomes absolutely certain: Kimball Hayden now finds himself in a position to hunt down the woman he loves.

Kept me attentive…… anything can happen. I feel bad saying this…… sigh……. It is “shone” not “shined”. Also has Rick Jones done a deal with a dentist - this obsessional link with straight teeth and beauty…. It is the imperfections that make someone who they are.
The story was scary - but I found it hard to deal with the graphic detail of the violence… while the whole theme of the series is one of military escapades …. This book seems to relish the detail unlike any previous and it feels against the ethos of the series. Ending did not save what had been an uncomfortable ride for this reader.
Normally I read my own. Accidentally bought this on Audible. Reader was awful, sounded like AI version. Fortunately the rest I will read my own. Looking forward to starting the next one…..

As ever rattles along….but…..
