The Fraternity of the Stone: An Espionage Thriller (Mortalis Book 2)

From acclaimed Thriller Master, David Morrell, comes a classic espionage tale that changed the genre, paving the way for the historical/religious thrillers of Dan Brown, Steve Berry, and James Rollins.

In a remote monastery in Vermont, a mysterious man has spent six years alone in a cell, doing penance for unnamed sins that he committed for his government. His only human contact is the hand that delivers his spartan meals through a slot in his door. He allows himself only one small pleasure, the companionship of a mouse. When the mouse dies, nibbling bread, a terrible suspicion makes him finally leave his sanctuary and confront the ruthless enemies that he prayed he had left behind.

Beginning with the Crusades and the origin of the word â€œassassin,â€ THE FRATERNITY OF THE STONE was the first novel to deal with Opus Dei, the Vaticanâ€™s civilian intelligence community. If you like to read about ancient conspiracies that threaten the modern world, this is where the genre began.
