About the book
Father Kevin Thrall, the hero of Peter J. Tanous's thriller, is chaplain of an impoverished parochial school in inner-city Washington, D.C., yet his combat years with an elite military unit still trouble him, and the priest is as quick to reach for a Glock as to pray. The Vatican picks him for a dangerous mission tied to the prophecy said to have been revealed a century ago to three Portuguese shepherd children. The Vatican released the text of the third secret in 2000, but many believe parts of it were held back. The novel is both a modern spy thriller and a spiritual quest, testing Thrall's abilities and his faith against enemies inside and outside the Church.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb praised it as masterly, saying every page brought a surprise and that only Tanous would think to mix James Bond and a Catholic priest.

Masterly! This is the page turner par excellence; every new page brings some surprise and it was impossible for me to put the book down. I even read some of it during elevator rides, not being able to resist. And truly sophisticated: Nobody but Peter Tanous would have imagined to cross James Bond with a Catholic priest.”
