The Third Secret

A hidden revelation from the Virgin Mary and intrigue within the Vatican kick off a crisis for the seated Pope and his loyal secretary in this thriller by the bestselling author of THE AMBER ROOM and THE ROMANOV PROPHECY. In 1917, the Virgin Mary entrusted three secrets to a Portuguese peasant girl. The girl divulged two of the secrets, but directed that the third remain a mystery until 1960. The present-day pope, Clement XV, seems obsessed with and disturbed by that final secret; and dispatches his secretary, Monsignor Colin Michener, in search of the secret's translator, a quest which not only leads to the truth about the three secrets but forces Michener to confront his own troubled past.
