WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE BOOK?
Here you can post the name of your favorite book,
and a picture of it if you'd like,
and write a little bit about it, kinda like a synopsis.
And you can even post
the book you are reading at the moment

The FIFTH GOSPEL is a bit similar to DAN BROWN's Books, it is a murder mystery set within the Vatican. Not the Vatican tourists see, but the the vast labyrinth kept from public view. Likewise, Caldwell's characters are all fashioned after those who actually administer the Vatican. I'm astonished at the amount of research Caldwell has done.

In 2004, as Pope John Paul II’s reign enters its twilight, a mysterious exhibit is under construction at the Vatican Museums. A week before it is scheduled to open, its curator is murdered at a clandestine meeting on the outskirts of Rome. The same night, a violent break-in rocks the home of the curator’s research partner, Father Alex Andreou. When the papal police fail to identify a suspect in either crime, Father Alex undertakes his own investigation. To find the killer he must reconstruct the dead curator’s secret: what the four Christian gospels—and a little-known, true-to-life fifth gospel known as the Diatessaron—reveal about the Church’s most controversial holy relic. But just as he begins to understand the truth about his friend’s death, Father Alex finds himself hunted down by someone with vested stakes in the exhibit—someone he must outwit to survive.
