“Murder in the Vatican” is set during the Second Vatican Council meeting, which is about to open the windows of the old church in the Eternal City of Rome. While that breath of fresh air is going to flood the globe with optimism, a horrific attack is taking place near the banks of the Tiber River. It is one that will shed light on a narrative set just after World War II’s end, which rocked Italy to its core. The attack is being witnessed by two seminarians who are Apostolic College Council Assistants.

So, a fresh mystery for Ron De Cenza and Bob Wentz to unravel starts. Only this time, the trio is joined by Ron’s sister, who has arrived in Rome for her college studies, as well as that fake Southern Belle whose heart belongs to one of them.
