The Epistle of Mary
By: Leslie D. Rietze

A manuscript, supposedly written by Mary, the Mother of Jesus, is found! Bill Kraft, a ‘Trouble Shooter’ employed by The Vatican, believes that if the contents of this three-page document, called ‘The Epistle of Mary’, were ever to be ‘leaked’ to the press or published, the contents would be so powerful that they could conceivably:

Topple the Roman Catholic Church!

At all costs, Kraft believes he cannot let this happen! He is convinced that the only way to save ‘The Church’ from certain ruin is to:

Eliminate anyone and everyone with any knowledge of the Epistle! That the Roman Catholic Church’s continued existence may depend solely on him alone!

Intertwined in the mayhem of international intrigue and assassination are two passionate ‘Love Story’s’! The first between a man and woman who are complete opposites!

She with a PHD in Archeology; he an ex-Army recluse who finished High School with a G.E.D.; she at the age of 54; he at age 32; she recently widowed, he never married! What bond can hold these two together? Or can it!

The second ‘Love Story’ is between a Vatican Cardinal and his Secretary! Can these two illicit lovers overcome their fear of being caught and stay together? Are they heading toward destruction! How does ‘The Epistle of Mary’ change their lives and those of everyone who comes in contact with it?
