Average rating4

Se lit comme un roman policier et traite de manière circonstanciée, à partir d'une enquête démarrée en 1970 des intrications, implications et complications que la banque du Vatican aurait subies à travers de frauduleuses négociations. Toute cette véridique histoire s'arrête à l'occasion du scandale Marcinkus (1982), ce qui pourrait justifier le document et provoquer une suite. On se demande parfois si c'est un roman à sensation, surtout devant le silence du principal intéressé.

I love Mafia books, especially true crime ones. This was the fascinating tale of Det. Joseph Coffey tireless effort to bring down the mob and the men who were laundering millions of dollars worth of phony securities. A conspiracy that stretched to D.C, Rome and the Vatican.

Even though you get a TON of names and information thrown at you (which was confusing at times) I still found this to be a really enjoyable read. It's well written and well paced.
