Pandora's Box . . .
December 1939. A train winds through Italy towards the Alps with a cargo too precious to destroy, too awful to reveal. On board is an iron box containing documents that could rip the Christian world apart, set religion against religion, sect against sect, an entire people against another.
The richest aristocrat in Italy, Savarone Fontini-Cristi, is responsible for the documents' safety but he's marked for death by the Nazis. Some people want the secrets told . . .
Some people want to plunge the world into a catastrophic holy war . . .
