publishers Weeklya Mysterious Biblical Object, Nefarious Vatican Spies And A Deadly Centuries-old Religious Cabal-sound Familiar? Sacramento Veterinarian Rollins Offers More Da Vinci Code-style Thrills For The Seriously Addicted.

The Bones Of The Three Wise Men. Grayson Pierce, Top Agent In The Department Of Defense's Covert Sigma Force, Takes A Team To Rome, Joins Up With Love-interest Rachel Verona, A Carabinieri Corps Lieutenant, And Her Vatican Official Uncle, Vigot.

Rollins Has Few Peers In The Research Department, Which Makes The Historical Material Fascinating, And He Keeps The Dialogue Believably Colloquial And The Incidental Elements Motivated-and Plausible For At Least Short Stretches. Clumsy Romance Is Mostly Overcome By Lots Of Action. Dan Brown-ers Looking For Methadone Will Add To Rollins's Usual Solid Numbers. (june) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
