Publisher’s description

Scully and Mulder's investigation of a bizarre death in a Brooklyn church threatens to uncover an incredible plot involving an "inner government" conspiracy, the Vatican, an unscrupulous antiquities dealer, and the object of the clandestine search--the parchment containing the stolen last Fatima prophecy that seems to have an astonishing way of destroying anyone who attempts to read its secret.
