Halfway through her Ph.D., Jennifer Jaine's faith has been shaken. She has become convinced that the Catholic church's authority is based on a lie. Desperate to prove herself wrong, she goes to the Vatican, only to be caught up in an international hunt for the truth about the church, the Pope, and how Jesus intended his followers to live their faith. A stolen artifact, a mysterious murder, and an escaping intruder lead Jennifer from the Vatican to the streets of Rome to the Cave Church of St. Peter in Turkey, where she discovers a secret that could delegitimize the Pope. Chased by scheming cardinals and the trigger-happy head of Vatican security, assisted only by an elderly professor, the son of an Italian Mafioso, and a mysterious-but handsome-Turk, Jennifer must decide whether to become complicit in the church's duplicity or shake the foundations of the planet's most dominant religion. "This fast-paced and intriguing work will hook readers from the first page to the last, leaving them wanting more." BookLife Prize-2017 by Publishers Weekly.

Autorenporträt
Izak Botha earned degrees in Building Science and in Architecture from the university of Port Elizabeth, South African. A brief stint as a designer, followed by successful endeavors in outdoor media and property development, saw Botha retire from the corporate world in 1992. Capitalizing on the majestic backdrop of Table Mountain and the hotspots of Cape Town's idyllic beachfront, the next two decades were centered on examining the dogma obfuscating the disciplines of cosmology and evolution. In 2007, Botha released Homo Angelicansis, a non-fiction treatise analyzing spirituality and the soul in the evolutionary context. Settling in a coastal village on the Garden Route of the Western Cape, Botha was inspired to write his first novel, Blood Symbols, a religious conspiracy thriller examining the clandestine role of Imperial Rome in the rise of Christianity. With new insights driving the need to update his views on spirituality, Botha published Angelicals Reviewed. Botha is presently working on his new novel.
