The Confessor Audiobook (Free)

From the author who “rates among the best of the younger American spy novelists” (The Washington Post) comes a sensational thriller of ancient and modern betrayal.

Munich: The writer Benjamin Stern entered his flat to see a man standing generally there, leafing through his research, and said, “Who all the hell are you?” In reply, the person shot him. As Stern lay dying, the gunman murmured a few words in Latin, then collected the writer’s papers and left.

Venice: The art restorer Gabriel Allon applied a dab of on the subject of The Confessor paint carefully towards the Bellini, then saw the young man approaching, a piece of paper in his hand. It might be about Stern, he understood. They would need him to leave right away. Having a sigh, the Mossad agent completed his work, then started to pack his brushes.

Vatican City: The pope referred to as Paul VII-“Pope Accidental,” to his detractors-paced in his backyard, taking into consideration the things he knew as well as the enemies he would make. He thought he understood why God had chosen him because of this job, but the road before him was hard and exceedingly perilous. If he succeeded, he’d revolutionize the Chapel. If not, he might very well destroy it-and himself.

In the weeks to come, the journeys of all these men will come together, following a trail of long-buried secrets and unthinkable deeds, leaving each one forever changed. Intrigue will dominate their lives and death stalk their pathways, most of them in the shadow of the Confessor.

Filled with wealthy character types, remarkable prose, and an intricately woven plot suffused with surprise and intensity, this is an uncommonly effective work by a fresh master of the art.
