what if it is just a social construct?

The Malta Exchange by Steve Berry; 2019; $28.99;401 pages; Minotaur Books, New York, NY; 978-0-250-14026-5; checked out from Multnomah County Library, Midland; 3/13/19-3/19/19

Why did I read this?  Because like James Rollins and Brad Thor I like the stories they write.

Cotton Malone is sent to retrieve some correspondence between Winston Churchill and Benito Mussolini.  It only it were that simple, it begins a long investigation that travels between Rome and Malta and involves the Vatican.  As a conclave of Cardinals is called to name a new Pope factions reveal themselves.  Some of these factions are willing to do anything to see their patron elevated to the top.  Intrigue, history and action are all invoked here.  Non stop thrilling action with historical overtones make for an exciting read.  

10/10
