The Road to Gandolfo by Robert Ludlum

 

 
Here's an old paperback (yes ... found at Goodwill) that kept me reading. It doesn't take time to breathe so you are swept away in the movement of the scenes. I think the little bit that Ludlum writes at the beginning of the book explaining how this idea for this story came about is fun to read. We all like to know how authors get their inspiration, don't we?
 
Anyway this  is about a plot to kidnap, of all people, the pope!! How does one do that? Well it takes someone who has been in the military with four voluptuous ex-wives and the time to pull it off and the gumption to raise millions of dollars to finance the escapade.
 
Bring in a twin brother of the pope and the stage is set.
 
I'll leave you to it to read this one and see how the caper is pulled off. It would be a good read at the beach during your summer vacation.
