And
yet
,
Vittoria
knew
,
for
all
its
impiety
and
inevitable
horror
,
the
task
at
hand
was
inescapable
.
The
grave
decisions
facing
the
camerlegno
required
information
…
information
entombed
in
a
sarcophagus
in
the
Vatican
Grottoes
.
She
wondered
what
they
would
find
.
Did
the
Illuminati
murder
the
Pope
?
Did
their
power
really
reach
so
far
?
Am
I
really
about
to
perform
the
first
papal
autopsy
?
Vittoria
found
it
ironic
that
she
felt
more
apprehensive
in
this
unlit
church
than
she
would
swimming
at
night
with
barracuda
.
Nature
was
her
refuge
.
She
understood
nature
.
But
it
was
matters
of
man
and
spirit
that
left
her
mystified
.
Killer
fish
gathering
in
the
dark
conjured
images
of
the
press
gathering
outside
.
TV
footage
of
branded
bodies
reminded
her
of
her
father
’
s
corpse
…
and
the
killer
’
s
harsh
laugh
.
The
killer
was
out
there
somewhere
.
Vittoria
felt
the
anger
drowning
her
fear
.
As
they
circled
past
a
pillar
—
thicker
in
girth
than
any
redwood
she
could
imagine
—
Vittoria
saw
an
orange
glow
up
ahead
.
The
light
seemed
to
emanate
from
beneath
the
floor
in
the
center
of
the
basilica
.
As
they
came
closer
,
she
realized
what
she
was
seeing
.
It
was
the
famous
sunken
sanctuary
beneath
the
main
altar
—
the
sumptuous
underground
chamber
that
held
the
Vatican
’
s
most
sacred
relics
.
As
they
drew
even
with
the
gate
surrounding
the
hollow
,
Vittoria
gazed
down
at
the
golden
coffer
surrounded
by
scores
of
glowing
oil
lamps
.
"
St
.
Peter
’
s
bones
?
"
she
asked
,
knowing
full
well
that
they
were
.
Everyone
who
came
to
St
.
Peter
’
s
knew
what
was
in
the
golden
casket
.
"
Actually
,
no
,
"
the
camerlegno
said
.
"
A
common
misconception
.
That
’
s
not
a
reliquary
.
The
box
holds
palliums
—
woven
sashes
that
the
Pope
gives
to
newly
elected
cardinals
.
"
"
But
I
thought
—
"
"
As
does
everyone
.
The
guidebooks
label
this
as
St
.
Peter
’
s
tomb
,
but
his
true
grave
is
two
stories
beneath
us
,
buried
in
the
earth
.
The
Vatican
excavated
it
in
the
forties
.
Nobody
is
allowed
down
there
.
"
Vittoria
was
shocked
.
As
they
moved
away
from
the
glowing
recession
into
the
darkness
again
,
she
thought
of
the
stories
she
’
d
heard
of
pilgrims
traveling
thousands
of
miles
to
look
at
that
golden
box
,
thinking
they
were
in
the
presence
of
St
.
Peter
.
"
Shouldn
’
t
the
Vatican
tell
people
?
"
"
We
all
benefit
from
a
sense
of
contact
with
divinity
…
even
if
it
is
only
imagined
.
"
