Review:

‘A fascinating novel with a leavening of tantalising historical detail’ Irish News

From the Back Cover:

A remarkable novel based on a fascinating historical mystery, by the author of 'The Mastership Game.'

The action committed by Judas for thirty pieces of silver is one of the most famous betrayals in history. But what happened to those coins – coins which gave their predecessors such a power of evil that they had only been resisted by one man: Peter himself. Twenty-five of the coins have been gathered and kept safe in the sacred tomb of St. Peter in the Vatican.

But what happened to the remaining five?

Paul Stauffer, a brilliant, ambitious criminal psychologist, has been responsible for Karl Kramer's victorious defence against a brutal murder charge. But in the courtroom, meeting Kramer's eyes, Paul becomes convinced that he has made a terrible error. He is prevented from action by an unusually persuasive visitor – and the first coin appears. Havoc follows in a series of macabre accidents in his home and his office, to his family, friends, students and colleagues. His most formidable adversary is Cardinal Benelli. He knows of the evil performed by previous holders of the coins, men such as Diocletian, but none seem to Benelli as terrifying as the conjunction of the hapless Paul Staffer with the rise again of that legendary figure, the Magus.

Full of Historical detail, rich in the secret history of the Vatican, of occult practices and philosophy, 'The Coins of Judas' is a powerful, challenging novel.
