I guardiani del tempio

In the aftermath of the failed assassination attempt on Pope Hamilton, Israeli intelligence uncovers a disturbing detail: the North African priest who saved the pontiff’s life was, in fact, an ISIS militant. What was he doing there? And, above all, why did he protect the Pope?
In a Middle East reshaped by the events of October 7th, where both the authorities in Jerusalem and those in Gaza fear that the void left by Hamas might be filled by ISIS, Israeli and Palestinian
intelligence join forces to shed light on the affair. Meanwhile, across the Mediterranean, the Italian police and the Vatican’s own secret service – the Entity – also begin to investigate.
Hamilton is confronted with mounting doubts, deepened by his encounters with a rabbi sent by the Israelis and an imam sent by ISIS, about his Curia, his Church, and even his own faith.
The concluding volume of the trilogy that began with L’opzione di Dio (God’s Option) and continued with Vatican Tabloid, I Guardiani del tempio (The Guardians of the Temple) is at once a gripping, up-to-the-minute spy story and a
profound meditation on the failure of religions and on humanity’s irrepressible yearning, despite everything, to seek God.
