What is the Third Secret?

It is rumoured to be a prediction so shocking that it has been locked away for over eighty years. Could this be what is drawing Pope Clement XV to the Vatican archive, night after sleepless night?

When Father Colin Michener is sent on a secret mission to the highlands of Romania, he is pitched into a vortex of suspicion, deceit, murder and forbidden passion. Suddenly, he is forced to face the very thing that has so distressed the Pope – and to unravel a mystery that will shake the world.

Reviews

<i>Booklist</i>
Conspiracies and plots abound . . . Berry handles his thriller tradecraft skilfully, [and] his descriptions are stellar.
<I>New York Times</I>
The links to religion in The Da Vinci Code...pale beside those in The Third Secret. Here's a lurid, churning thriller...ruthless behind-the-scenes ambition in Vatican City...Berry raises this genre's stakes...
Clive Cussler on Steve Berry
'Pure intrigue. Pure fun'
Dan Brown on THE AMBER ROOM
Sexy, illuminating . . . my kind of thriller
Dan Brown on Steve Berry
'Writes with the self-assured style of a veteran'
<i>Wall Street Journal</i> on THE TEMPLAR LEGACY
'Grabby stuff'
David Morrell, author of NIGHTSCAPE and CREEPERS
Steve Berry is a writer on the rise
<i>The Financial Express</i>, India
Intricate...pacy
<i>Library Journal</i> on THE TEMPLAR LEGACY
'Not to be missed. Anagrams and complicated symbology abound, and comparisons to The Da Vinci Code are inevitable, but Berry distinguishes himself with a complex, well-written, and extremely readable story.'
Dan Brown on THE AMBER ROOM
Sexy, illuminating . . . my kind of thriller.
<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, on THE ROMANOV PROPHECY
International intrigue, swashbuckling action, indestructible hero from the American South. . . . Not to be missed.
