Good day! I found this just now over at Hagel Rat's blog, and had to share it. I'm so pleased to have discovered this intriguing, and hopefully very scary book! For more details visit the author's website here, where you can also read a two chapter sample! Thanks Hagel Rat! :)
Summary:
Two
thousand years ago, thirty silver Tyrian shekels were paid to secure
the most infamous betrayal of all time. Melted down by the grandsons of
Judas Iscariot, Menahem and Eleazar ben Jair, in the dark heart of the
Sicarii fortress, Masada, the silver was re-forged as a dagger. When
the Sicarii zealots committed mass suicide in AD73 the dagger of
Iscariot and the truth of his sacrifice were lost. Until now.
A religious cult calling itself the Disciples of Judas has risen in the Middle East. Its influence is pernicious, its reach long. In thirteen cities across Europe thirteen people martyr themselves in the name of Judas, promising forty days and forty nights of terror. They twist the words of ancient prophecies to drive home the fear. On the last day, they promise, faith will fall. Everything you believe in will be proved wrong. Everything you hold true will fail.
Day by day the West wakes to increasingly more harrowing acts of terror. Fear cripples the capitals of Europe, who will be the next to fall? London? Rome? Berlin?
In a race against time – and prophecy – believing the terrorists intend to assassinate the Pope as part of their plan to bring down the Catholic Church, Sir Charles Wyndham’s team of combat specialists, codename Ogmios, tracks a labyrinthine course through truth, shades of truth and outright lies that takes them from the backstreets of London to the shadow of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin all the way into the heart of the Holy See itself.

Forty days and forty nights of fear. And today is day one.
