15 year old Emanuela Orlandi went to a music lesson in Rome, on one of the hottest days of the Summer, 1983. She is still to this day the only Vatican citizen to go missing, and this teenager's disappearance is one of the most baffling cases in Italian criminal history. As if ripped out of teh pages of a Dan Brown novel, there are so many twists, turns, shock revelations and red herrings in a story that swirls around the Sicilian Mafia, God's Banker, Avon cosmetics, a gangster's moll, a dungeon, an international assasin, prophecies, miracles, the KGB and even the Pope himself.

I hope you're ready for this one, it's the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi, the Vatican Girl.
