Three books somehow related to Sister Rochelle & the Bad Priest

[Bekah]

The Prague Cemetery is not as good as The Name of the Rose or Foucault's Pendulum but it's better than his other novels.   Apparently every character in the book, except the narrator,  has an historical basis and involved in a conspiracy almost as good as that of the Templars.
