Followers of an ancient cult threaten to overthrow the Italian government and destroy the Church.

Rome is in chaos. Earthquakes shake the city. The pope is in a coma. And a Vatican scholar has been found dead in the Tiber.

Detective Marco Leone is about to take a sabbatical when his estranged friend--charged with organizing the Vatican's secret archives--is murdered. Leone stays to investigate, but the killing is just the first in a series of ritual assassinations and attacks on specific churches--all of which were built over ancient chapels of the Roman god Mithras.

Leone's research leads him to two American scholars who have uncovered a pair of scrolls that, if authentic, could rewrite history. While attempting to unravel the parchments' mysteries, they are drawn into a bitter feud between a scheming cardinal and a charismatic tycoon, Lucio Piso, himself bewitched by the cult of Mithras. As the deaths pile up, Leone begins to wonder if Piso is involved, and if his obsession feeds larger personal and political goals. Could the cult of a long-forgotten god topple the Italian government and bring the Church to its knees?

In the tradition of The Da Vinci Code comes a thriller that dives beneath the veneer of a powerful ancient institution to explore the crumbling ruins--and the shocking secrets--that lie within.

"An enjoyable thriller . . . Polelle rewards readers with uncertainty in every chapter. Leone's Rome is a dangerous place with a masked attacker around virtually every corner. And that's what makes it fun to visit." --Kirkus Reviews

So sour! So yummy!
Size: 1 Pound
I loved these as a kid, so I bought some for my kids to try. They are just as sour and yummy as ever! If you've never had them, you can think of them as sort of a sweet tart kind of candy, but WAY more sour!

They're super sour and I end up burning my tongue from eating too many in one sitting lol You get a good amount for the money, a bag lasted me a couple weeks and I was munching daily. If you love sour candy and are looking for a fix you can't go wrong with these
