Of Saints And Shadows (1994)
“A billion he’d rather be than a rooftop overlooking the walls of the Vatican at going on three in the morning. But he was angry and more than a little curious.
Karl’s death had been just the latest in a series of assassinations in the immortal community. It was all anyone was talking about, and they all knew who was doing the killing. The question wasn’t even what they would do to exact retribution from the Vatican, but if they would do anything. After all, they were afraid. All but the oldest,... and for the most part, they were the ones being hunted.
Or at least, that was the general pattern until Karl’s murder. Certainly, Karl was old. As a matter of fact, Cody didn’t know how old. But surely not much more than a thousand years. The Defiant Ones being murdered were older than that; the younger victims of these Vatican hunters were only bystanders, generally members of the covens of the oldest of the old. So what made Karl a target?
The book.
