Overview

The Pope lies in a coma. Given past scandals, how are the Vatican authorities going to present the news to the world? Should he be moved, put on a life support machine or be allowed to die peacefully in his own quarters in the Vatican?Certainly, Cardinal Luca Rossini will have to be consulted. His rapid elevation from rural pastor during the years of the murderous Argentinian junta to Roman eminence has led to envy and to gossip within the Vatican. Then when the world's media is suddenly rife with reports of the appearance of the dying Pontiff's personal diaries, full of doubts about his papacy and the future path of the Catholic Church, Rossini's traumatic past threatens to rise up and engulf him.In a novel that many will see as the summit of a lifetime's work which has brought pleasure to countless thousands of readers of all ages, Morris West return to the subject he knows better than anyone else: the passions and conflicts that divide the secret kingdom of the Vatican.This book sees Morris West returning for the first time to the territory of The Shoes of the Fisherman and The Devil's Advocate - the books that made him a bestseller in 30 languages.
