The Brotherhood Of The Holy Shroud

Начало книги

My thanks to Fernando Escribano, who revealed the tunnels of Turin to me, and who is always "on duty" when his friends need him.

I owe a debt of gratitude also to Gian Maria Nicastro, who has been my guide to the secrets of Turin, his city. He has been my eyes in the city and has generously and swiftly provided me with any information I've asked for.
