SEVEN DAYS IN MAY, 1636
Its spring in Burgundy. The flowers are out and so are the cardinalsof Pope Urbans renegade papacy, now on the run from the Vaticans would-be usurper Borja. Most of the Churchs senior leaders have converged upon the city of Besancon, where the Pope plans to offer an ecumenical olive branch to the other Christian denominations with which Rome has been at war.
Fortunately, Urban has up-time help. He can rely upon Cardinal-Protector Larry Mazzares theological savvy, Sharon Nichols medical skills, and her husband Ruy Sanchezs keen-eyed experience as a body-guard-in-chief. And even though Urban has a new Papal Guard in the form of Owen Rowe ONeills Wild Geese, Mike Stearns has loaned the Pope a small contingent of the Hibernian Battalionjust in case.
Which is prudent, since Urban and his peace initiative are not merely at risk from Borjas assassins. There is another, more deadly, team of professional killers in town, directed by the man who almost killed the Pope before: lethal Spanish mastermind Pedro Dolor.
Dolor hasnt come to confess murderhes come to commit it.
