Lazarus

JACKET NOTES:  A DEADLY GAME WHERE EVERYONE HAS A SECRET AGENDA--AND NO ONE IS QUITE WHAT THEY SEEM...

THE POPE: An iron-fisted reactionary, he conspired in the downfall of his predecessor earning many enemies in his climb to the top. Now he must face his own day of reckoning...

THE DOCTOR: He is first a surgeon--second, a Zionist, bitter over Rome's refusal to acknowledge the Jews. Performing heart surgery on the Vicar of Christ, he vows, “I want him to owe me his life”...

THE ASSASSIN: By day he is a businessman. By night, he leads the Sword of Islam. Now his greatest hour draws near--he has been chosen to kill the Pope!
