In truth, Foscolo flees Europe and finds himself penniless in New York. The Cardinal can't return to Europe and is unable to reach his accomplice, Captain Carl Maximus Berlinguer, of the Swiss Guards, who saves himself by revealing to investigators the Cardinal's criminal activities. Enter Michael Lucas, the detective hired by the Patriarch to solve the Cardinal's murder and return the parchments to the Catholic Church. Will Lucas solve the case?
