A cardinals' cabal to depose a newly elected but unpopular Pope leads to the death of a British arms dealer on the Maltese island of Gozo. To Chief-inspector 'Bob' Shilling, sent from Scotland Yard to assist the inquiry, it seems like a murder without a motive. But then he discovers that the murder is directly linked to the Crucifixion of Jesus and an ancient fragment of papyrus that contains information shamefully hidden by the Vatican for centuries. That is The Blood Secret. As the story unfolds it will challenge everything that readers know (or think they know) about the Church, the Crusaders, the Knights of Malta, Freemasonry - but most of all about the New Testament.
