After a short and killer read (and a free one at that)? The crew at 40K books has kindly given us 3 ebook copies of the The Vaticans Secret Cabinet'by'Daniel Pearlman to give away.
Whats it about? Well, according to the spec fic review site Strange Horizons:'Giuseppe Pennini, a dealer in ancient Roman statuary, is assigned a penance of matching severed genitalia secretly stored in the Vatican museums with the unknown statues from which they were removed. It has so much to delight political intrigue, vanity, greed, and double-entendre all set in a subtle send-up of the traditional detective story, complete with a double-cross ending.
And author Paul Di Filippo says: Dan Pearlmans writing presents us with a rare multiplicity of unique voices. His unforgettable characters continue to whisper in the readers ear long after the final page is turned.

Id like to say that Id do some really clever analysis of the stonework each statue was carved out of, but really Id probably start off with lots of giggling then probably get distracted by all of the silly things one can do with severed stone genitalia and never complete my penance
Haha, yes, its certainly not the Elgin Marbles we need to be worried about right now
