Rob The Vatican Ebook

Everyone believes that robbing the Vatican is impossible. The world’s greatest collection of treasures, jewelry, and art sits inside the seemingly impregnable walls of the Vatican. A vast cadre of devoted priests, Swiss Guards, and Vatican Gendarmes protect the sanctity of the one-hundred acre heartbeat of the Roman Catholic Church.

But events, ingenious planning, and a man on a mission may make the impossible possible. A powerful cardinal is obsessed with becoming the next pope. A young priest and a beautiful Italian gymnast learn about a deadly conspiracy.

American jewel thief Craig Reynolds methodically positions the players and maneuvers events as he plans the greatest robbery in history. He will do it to achieve enormous wealth and for the prestige of becoming the master thief of all time. But will he sacrifice the woman he initially deceived but now loves?

This is Robert Gallant’s fifth novel. Gallant lives in Midland, Michigan.

"Gallant displays a realistic familiarity with the countryside, villages, and cities of Italy, as well as a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the most famous piece of real estate in the Catholic Church’s domain. He compellingly interweaves enticing information about the Vatican’s physical properties, security procedures, and treasure holdings, with the interlopers’ strategy and tactics for looting the place."
