Blood of the Lamb
A Novel of Secrets
By Sam Cabot
The Historian meets The Da Vinci Code in this exhilarating supernatural thriller set in Rome. Rival groups are searching for a document that holds a secret that could shatter the Catholic Church.
While in Rome, American Jesuit priest Thomas Kelly is called upon to reclaim a centuries-old document stolen from the Vatican. An enigmatic letter leads him to the work of a 19th century poet, where Thomas discovers cryptic messages that might lead to the missing manuscript. His search is unexpectedly entwined with that of Italian art historian Livia Pietro, who tells him that destructive forces are threatening to expose the document’s contents. As they’re relentlessly chased through the heart of Rome by mysterious men who quickly demonstrate they would cross any line to obtain the document for themselves, it becomes clear to Livia and Thomas that the pages hold a deep, devastating, long-buried truth. Livia, though, has a secret of her own: she and her People are vampires. But all this pales in light of the Secret that Thomas and Livia discover together—a revelation more stunning than either could have imagined.

WOOO, this sounds scary! Happy New Year, Laura! :0)
Happy New Year Donna. If you forget they are vampires, this is one deep read. Even if you don;t forget the vampires! Excellent writing:)
Sounds like one the hubby would appreciate a little more than me, but still very intriguing!
Happy weekend!
It’s not light reading but I love this stuff! Have a great weekend Freda!
This sounds waaay too scary for me!
Here’s the link to my Friday post: A GOOD HOME.
It’s more intrigue then horror, but it does have vampires:)
I stopped by your post. I like memoirs sometimes.
Vampires in the Vatican–I think we can all tell something is very wrong when that happens.
Who knows, maybe there are! LOL
The Da Vinci Code was not really my thing. I read it twice and it lost me both times. Sometimes a book just won’t click with me. Doesn’t mean I won’t try another. ^_^
This isn’t a light read, but it’s fascinating.
I absolutely loved The Historian. I would probably love this book!
Linking from Friday 56,

Very well written and edited with lots of research.
