  Chicago criminal attorney Michael Prescott is in Rome, visiting his best friend, Monsignor Robert Cavalieri, a Special Diplomat to the Vatican. He is informed that Giovanni Cardinal Masellis, the “Mafia Cardinal”, who was once the evilest cardinal in his day, has made a deathbed confession regarding the details of the poisoning murder of Pope John Paul I. His confession is secretly recorded by the Italian newspaper “La Repubblica” and their ambitious editor, Max Gianforte, who is desperately trying to confirm the Cardinal’s deathbed revelations.  
  The dying Cardinal also reveals specific details regarding the circumstances of the Pope’s death and the missing “Coins of Gregorio,” which was a priceless gift donated by the influential Italian mobster Don Giancarlo Cesario on the night before his murder.

As rumors swirl around Rome after the death of Cardinal Masellis, Italian crime boss Calogero "Don Charlie,” Cesario believes that DiVito, who may be the actual murderer, also possesses these missing, priceless coins. He is unhappy with the implication of his family in this Vatican Confession Scandal, revealing total corruption and instability of the Vatican Church.
