On Sep 9 2007, Hazelwood_Booksellers said:

With the entry of his second novel, Allan Folsom gives us a riveting suspense mystery matching the chilling power of his bestselling 'Day After Tomorrow'. In this story we find Holsom's hero in the unlikely character of a successful Hollywood lawyer, Harry Addison. Harry's world gets turned upside down when he receives a message on his telephone answering machine from his estranged brother, Daniel, a priest in Vatican City, telling him the Cardinal Vicar of Rome has been assassinated. Just a scant few hours later, Daniel is killed when a bus he is on explodes. Harry flies to Rome to recover his brother's body, only yo be catapulted into a conspiracy of deception and terror, while learning Daniel was the prime suspect in the assassination. Looking into what exactly happened to Daniel, he's amazed to find Daniel may still be alive. As he searches for Daniel, he too becomes a man on the run, accused of killing a policeman. Complications abound as Harry finds he is also being stalked by an infamous Terrorist who is also seeking Daniel. At the center of this thriller are men of God undertaking the devil's handiwork as they attempt to establish a new Holy Roman Empire in Communist Red China. This is a super chillier that will grab your imagination and yank it right into the middle of this spellbinder.
