Chapter 46
Poor Silas. While the others are having all manner of excitement in the back of a truck, he's lying on the floor, caked in his own blood and a distinct sense of failure.
Although Brown is characterised as being an enemy of Catholicism in general, and Opus Dei in particular, he's got a pretty good grasp of the attraction that extreme manifestations of faith hold for the bungled and botched of society. Bezu Fache's faith is neatly compartmentalised alongside his work and his grumpiness; but for Silas, it's all he's got.
Pity he's a psychopath, then, isn't it?
Ooh dear, sounds like Vernet might be a wrong 'un. Should have spotted it from the Fragonard. Probably wears silk underwear as well.

I have posted some videos I have pulled from the Opus Dei site here:

I am not a member of OPus Dei, but do think they are a quite interesting lot. They have a policy of not replying to any criticism which some mistakenly intrepret as secrecy.
