A hapless car thief gets more than he bargains for when he steals a vintage Mercedes-Benz that belonged to Rudolf Hess. When the thief seeks refuge in The Vatican, Monsignor Marcus Nee finds himself in the firing line as MI-6 agents, Interpol officers and neo-Nazi thugs search for the car. He discovers hidden in the car a letter written by Adolf Hitler that reveals not only that the Fuhrer sanctioned Hess’s mysterious flight to Scotland in 1941 but also that the British royal family sought to make a secret deal with the Nazis. Marcus must wage war against his evil adversaries to protect his friends and save the world from his shocking discovery.
