Vatican Gold — John Zodrow

New York, November 29, 1947
Matt Bowles, Medal of Honor winner Roman Catholic priest is tough. Entrusted with delivering six hundred million American dollars to the Vatican and a leather pouch containing another million--the only hope for three thousand stranded, homeless Jews fleeing Germany who must buy passage to Palestine--he flies to Rome, only to have his DC-6 sabotaged and crash on landing. By the time he recovers, the gold is gone. With no help from the Vatican, Father Bowles and an exquisite Italian contessa are plunged into a perilous race against time. The have just forty-eight hours to pay for the ships and save three thousand lives. There is only one way to get the money back. They must risk the impossible: ROB THE VATICAN BANK!
