Chapter 11

In looking at the frescoes, Brother Armagh thought that Fra Angelico had done a fine job depicting those terrors, and he felt his own flesh creep at the sight of such despair, agony, and torment. He made an effort to avert his eyes.

He had been escorted to the Camera dei Gobbi by an ispettore, an inspector, in the Corpo della Gendarmeria dello Stato della Città del Vaticano—-Vatican City’s police force. He had some idea of what this was about, and he was apprehensive, which he concealed with a calm, pious expression.

The inspector indicated where he was to sit—-in one of the elaborate wooden chairs lining the back wall of the room, the carved arms polished by centuries of use.

The inspector took a seat next to him, and they sat in silence, waiting in the dark, empty chamber, lit only by the fire from a bank of candles.
