Vatican Ratline






THE VATICAN RATLINE

In the aftermath of W.W.II, a young American priest is sent to Rome to photograph Vatican art.
He uncovers a scheme to smuggle Nazis out of Europe with Vatican passports. To ensure his silence, they kidnap the daughter of the woman he's fallen in love with. He must find the child before she's smuggled to South America.



The Vatican Ratline (aka Daniel) was a 2001 Nicholl Fellowship semi-finalist, (in the top 2.3% of 5,489) and a 2001 Chesterfield Writing Grant semi-finalist.
