One of the most fabulous treasures of the Renaissance,
the Borgia Chalice, carries with it a dark aura - for
legend has it that the notorious Rodrigo Borgia, Pope
Alexander VI, could use this cup to poison his enemies,
yet drink from it himself without harm. Security expert Tim Lacy has no superstitious fear of the
chalice's supposed powers, and nor do the six people who
drink from it after Lacy buys it for a client. But within
the hour, four of those people are dead, all of them art
critics who had mercilessly attacked the chalice's late
owner, Gregor Santori, as a fraud. Yet Santori's son and
daughter, who also drank from the cup, are unaffected. Is it possible that this is revenge from beyond the
grave? Lacy sets out to unearth the truth in Rome, where
revelations of sordid Vatican politics have remarkable
contemporary echoes. Before long Lacy finds himself
racing between the art establishments of two continents
in pursuit of a criminal more ruthless than he could ever
have known...
