Two new books by investigative
journalists exposing mismanagement and greed within the
Vatican's ranks quickly sold out in Rome book shops on their
first day of release on Thursday.
Merchants in the Temple (Via Crucis in the Italian version)
by Gianluigi Nuzzi and Avarice by Emiliano Fittipaldi were
commonly bought together by customers, a sales assistant at a
Feltrinelli shop in central Rome told ANSA.
The two books, based on leaked confidential Vatican
documents, are also at the top of Amazon's lists of the books
that have been sold the most and downloaded the most to Kindles.
They have been published days after two advisers of Pope
Francis were arrested and interrogated over leaked documents in
the second so-called VatiLeaks scandal to rock the Holy See.
