The Avignon Affair

Vatican Secret Archive Thrillers

By: Gary McAvoy, Ronald L. Moore

Narrated by: Will Damron

A corpse cloaked in secrets rests in an ancient tomb deep beneath Notre-Dame Cathedral, but its identity remains elusive. One priest is determined to find out who the dead man is and what he’s hiding....

Father Michael Dominic is called to France for an unusual assignment. A 14th-century bishop was found in a crypt buried under the burnt remnants of Notre-Dame—but he’s wearing the ring of a cardinal, and two parchment scrolls had been hidden in his garment sleeve. Who was this 700-year-old custodian of carefully guarded secrets?

Once Father Dominic decodes the rolled scrolls, long-hidden confessions are exposed that throw France into political turmoil while creating havoc within Dominic’s own team of friends. Relationships are tested and shocking new revelations emerge in The Avignon Affair.

An eye-opening turn of events

While fiction, the premise is just realistic enough for one to wonder if this could ever happen. The narration is once again well done.

Love this series!

This entire series is totally amazing! I’m so looking forward to “reading” the next book!!

Templars, baby!

(Those of you who watch The Curse of Oak Island will recognize Gary's reaction any time they make a Templar connection.)

As with all books in this series, this begins with Medieval history involving the artifact in question. Here it’s the Templar gold.

When Notre Dame burnt down, restorers found ancient scrolls. Of course Father Dominic et al head to France.

As always, the French are rioting. As I always say, they aren’t happy unless they’re chanting in the streets. And of all things, the Duke of Avignon thinks he’s France’s real king and actually takes charge!

This one's a bit far fetched, but it's still exciting.

Love the Series

Keep ‘em coming. Smart & intriguing storylines. Narrator is great. I would definitely recommend this series.
