'VatiLeaks' books sell out in Rome on publication day

(ANSA) - Rome, November 5 - 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.
