Opis

Vatican conspiracy, Pope in scandal, conclave and money laundering... in the news and in this prescient novel. The new Pope harbors a destructive secret from his past ... It's one shared by Ben Clancy, a former student of this first North American Pontiff. Freshly released from a hospital after an attempted suicide, Clancy has a new lease on life -- and a mission. He intends to expose the truth about the Pope and call the Vatican to account for its heinous coverups. A nearly impossible task, Ben is aided by a clandestine organization of fellow victims and retired diplomatic security officer Paul Adams, who has his own reasons for helping out. But with the power of the Vatican against him, Clancy's resolve is shattered by attempts on his life and threats to those closest to him. His choice is to accept the multi-million dollar settlement the Vatican offers to make it all go away, or remain on the run and do his best to outwit those determined to silence him at any cost in order to gain justice for himself, and thousands of other victims.
