The Last Cato

Author: Matilde Asensi
Stars: 4
Review by: jamBob

The most interesting book I read all summer. A 39 year old nun working in the Vatican archives is called in at the highest levels to dissect a enigmatic mystery involving a group of religious loyalists who go about the world stealing relics from the True Cross. Interesting code breaking using Dante's Purgatory. This book was published before Dan Brown's. Exotic locations, challenging tests to the three people on the course to recover the relics. A wide knowledge of paleography as the author is a paleographer. And a little romance to boot!
