Garden of Souls

Cheri Vause

An adventure novel featuring the history of Christianity, archaeology, religion, Jewish Christian rivalry and political intrigue at the Vatican, international crime, murder and miracles. It's all here. What may be lacking is any great depth to the characters and any real feeling for places. However, it's an exciting adventure and certainly an unusual plot. A good read.

Extract
She squeezed her violet eyes closed and shivered , steeling herself against the bullets that would burn into her body. Then she would slip into that black hole of death, and be unforgiven and forgotten by God with only a single act of goodness counted in her favour. She held her breath again waiting for the blackness to open its arms and welcome her. A flurry of bullets blasted through the still air.
