This book "got me" in the first 3 pages......not easy to do. It weaves an interesting story about good and evil, loss and redemption, and what follows death. If you liked Angels and Demons or The DaVinci Code, you will like this!

I read this book while traveling, I read it all but felt highly disappointed when it was over. Way too much mystical thinking involved. The first half of the bok captivated me somewhat, but the second half, it felt like the author didn't know what to do to end it so he started making up anything and everything he could think of the make it work. Well, it didn't work for me. I loved this author's latest work, but going backward and reading the first novel showed alot of growth int he author.

If you liked The Da Vinci Code...you're gonna LOVE this one! This is the first book written by Richard Doetsch. I think he did a wonderful job. I read this in 1 day. I couldn't put it down.

Michael St. Pierre is a retired master thief taking on one last scoreknocking over the Vaticanin Doetsch's first novel, an effective papal thriller. When his beloved wife, Mary, is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Michael reluctantly agrees to a burglary for a mysterious German businessman, August Finster. Finster will pay all of Mary's medical expenses if Michael steals a set of keys, one gold and one silver, from the Vatican. Michael pulls off the job, but naturally there's more to it than a simple robbery: Finster has sinister plans for the keys, which hold the power to keep humanity out of heaven forever. With the help of Michael's cop buddy and a Vatican priest, Michael must steal the keys back from Finster and return them to Rome.
