Chapter Five
Jack Grant steered the Maserati sports car into the parking bay outside the Hotel Jadin De Russie on the Via Del Babuino. The two-seater Maserati Ghibli, in racing green, was a car grand in style and class and would have looked out of place anywhere else, attracting all kinds of unwanted attention. But here in Rome it was as standard as a black cab in London. It was another 'perk' of the villa and Father Mario's friend from Sicily.
The drive from the villa was, in many ways, a welcome relief. It allowed him, for a little while, to be free and to be able to think. The power of the car had pleased him and, with the usual anti-surveillance measures in place, it had allowed him to be exhilarated by speed on the quiet roads before he had hit the congestion of the city.
