The Last Cato

Translated from the Spanish, this DA VINCI CODE-style thriller was an international bestseller. The first-person protagonist of the novel, Dr. Ottavia Salina, is a nun of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary and director of a paleography lab deep within the Vatican?s Classified Archives, charged with restoring ancient documents. The Vatican?s top officials call upon Dr. Salina to interpret the unusual symbolic scars tattooing the skin of a dead Ethiopian. Her discoveries lead her, a captain of the Swiss Guard, and an Egyptian archaeologist on a dangerous quest to foil a secret society of Orthodox Christians dedicated to securing all the remaining pieces of the True Cross.
