The Seville Communion
Trade cloth edition in very good condition. Dust jacket with intact price point. Stated first edition. Mylar cover included.
“Always that damned discipline that you wear like chain mail…You would have got on well with Bernard de Clairvaux and his gang of Knights Templar. If you’d been captured by Saladin, I’m sure you’d rather have had your throat cut than renounce your faith. But not from devotion, from pride.”
Her name is Our Lady of the Tears. She’s a small, crumbling Baroque church in the heart of Seville, Spain. And at least one person—a computer hacker nicknamed Vespers—believes that she kills to defend herself. Rome sends handsome Father Lorenzo Quart to investigate. He meets a feisty parish priest, a beautiful aristocrat, an ambitious banker, and three of the most touching, wonderfully ineffectual crooks to ever dabble in a life of crime. There are mysteries as well, from another death at the church to the secrets of the human heart.
