Blood on the Altar

di Justin Blake (Autore)

Uroš Taks, 2025

A crime committed at the altar is a crime against faith itself. In Blood on the Altar, Monsignor Luca Santini returns to face his most disturbing case yet—when a high-ranking cleric is found murdered during a sacred ceremony, his blood deliberately spilled as part of a chilling ritual. The Vatican moves swiftly to suppress the incident, but Luca is quietly tasked with uncovering the truth before panic, scandal, or heresy spreads. As Luca investigates, he uncovers a forbidden theological movement, erased from official Church history, yet still alive in secret circles of power. Ancient liturgical symbols, coded prayers, and clandestine gatherings reveal a conspiracy that does not merely seek control—it seeks transformation of doctrine itself. Surveillance, betrayal, and moral dilemmas return as Luca navigates rival factions within the Vatican, some desperate to protect tradition, others willing to kill to reshape it. With every step closer to the truth, the line between righteousness and corruption grows thinner. Dark, atmospheric, and intellectually gripping, Blood on the Altar deepens the world of Pope Intrigue, raising the stakes from political intrigue to spiritual warfare—where salvation and damnation are decided behind closed doors.
