What is the Third Secret?
It is rumoured to be a prediction so shocking that it has been locked away for over eighty years. Could this be what is drawing Pope Clement XV to the Vatican archive, night after sleepless night?
When Father Colin Michener is sent on a secret mission to the highlands of Romania, he is pitched into a vortex of suspicion, deceit, murder and forbidden passion. Suddenly, he is forced to face the very thing that has so distressed the Pope – and to unravel a mystery that will shake the world.

Reviews
Conspiracies and plots abound . . . Berry handles his thriller tradecraft skilfully, [and] his descriptions are stellar.
The links to religion in The Da Vinci Code...pale beside those in The Third Secret. Here's a lurid, churning thriller...ruthless behind-the-scenes ambition in Vatican City...Berry raises this genre's stakes...
'Pure intrigue. Pure fun'
Sexy, illuminating . . . my kind of thriller
'Writes with the self-assured style of a veteran'
'Grabby stuff'
Steve Berry is a writer on the rise
Intricate...pacy
'Not to be missed. Anagrams and complicated symbology abound, and comparisons to The Da Vinci Code are inevitable, but Berry distinguishes himself with a complex, well-written, and extremely readable story.'
Sexy, illuminating . . . my kind of thriller.
International intrigue, swashbuckling action, indestructible hero from the American South. . . . Not to be missed.
