Description
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE ACADEMY AWARD®-WINNING FILM STARRING RALPH FIENNES, STANLEY TUCCI, JOHN LITHGOW, AND ISABELLA ROSSELLINI
The page-turning thriller that “might be the ultimate locked-room mystery” (The Seattle Times), set in the Vatican’s secretive halls of power by the New York Times bestselling author of An Officer and a Spy and Munich
“Pulsates with intrigue. . . . Ambition, sex scandals, financial corruption and terrorism all rear their ugly heads. And Harris saves one whopper of a surprise for the final pages.” —USA Today
The pope is dead. Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, one hundred and eighteen cardinals from all over the globe will gather to cast their votes in the world’s most secretive election. They are holy men. But they are not immune to the human temptations of power and glory. And they are not above the tribalism and factionalism that consumes humanity. When all is said and done, one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on Earth.
In their cloistered debate they will uncover abuse and corruption at the very heart of the Church. It’s a scandal that could destroy all they hold dear, and they must act decisively to ensure that the next pope is worthy of the post.
