Synopsis:
Michael St. Pierre is a retired thief. His final score, the one that got him sent to the slammer, went horribly wrong when he was forced to save a woman about to be raped and killed. Fast forward several years and Michael is happily married and living the straight life. Unfortunately, he and his wife are dealt a blow when Mary is diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In order to pay for her treatment, Michael agrees to burgle one last time. He's hired by August Finster to steal two keys - from the Vatican. Naturally, a papal thriller follows and nothing is as it seems. Michael is forced to retrace his steps and atone for the wrong he's done, not only for Mary but for all of mankind.
As I've said, this is a very very good book but not nearly as good as the other I've read. Maybe it's because it's Doetsch's first novel and he was still slightly rough around the edges. However, I'd buy his books again simply for the thrill of reading these thrillers!
