This is the third in the Gabriel Allum series. In this one, he learns that he is to go to Munich because a Jewish historian, has been murdered. Again we have a thriller with Gabriel, now partnered with another beautiful woman, another Israeli spy, and the two of them are not only supposed to find out who killed the historian, but why. After Gabriel visits a journalist who was known to have visited with the historian, the journalist is also murdered. Each of these books seems to deal with betrayal of the Jews by one source or another, mostly connected with WW II. This time, the betrayal is by the Vatican, who did not condemn the Nazis for their actions. Now there is a new pope, a much more liberal one, who wants the record set straight, including apologizing to the Jews. A portion of the Vatican does not want to see that happen, and a few people involve themselves in a plan to kill the Pope. So Gabriel finds himself saving the Pope as well.
