Synopsis
This reworking of Patterson's second novel, VIRGIN (1980), features former nun turned private eye Anne Fitzgerald, who is hired to protect a rich Rhode Island teenager eight months pregnant--and a virgin. It seems that the Third Secret of Fatima, a real-life prophesy upheld by the Catholic Church and supposedly proclaimed by the Virgin Mary in 1917, states that two pregnant virgins, one bearing the Savior, the other Satan's child, will one day emerge. As Anne attempts to divert media attention away from the vulnerable young woman, she learns that there is indeed another virgin with child living in Ireland. If these girls are in fact related to the prophesy, which one is carrying the Savior and which the Antichrist? Could this be the beginning of the end?
