The new Pope buried a destructive secret years ago ... one shared by Ben Clancy, a hard on his luck former altar boy and student of this first North American pontiff. Determined to expose the truth and call the Vatican to account for its egregious cover ups, Clancy gets help from a clandestine group made up of fellow abuse victims and a retired Diplomatic Security Officer. But his resolve is shattered by threats to him and his family and Ben is offered an out: accept the massive financial settlement offered by the Vatican for his silence. His other choice is to remain on the run and do what he can to outwit those determined to silence him at any cost.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
"... compelling thriller you will find hard to put down until you reach the final resolution in the last pages. It is written with great passion, as one of the two authors was himself a victim of a sexually predatory Roman Catholic priest as a boy. His sister and co-author witnessed first-hand the resultant suffering her brother went through and together, the pair weave a fictional tale of suspense here. It is a remarkable first novel by the two authors who have distinguished careers in other creative fields." - Ian Mayo-Smith, M.B.E., Ph.D., M.A., Emeritus Professor, University of Connecticut
"...A wonderful and riveting story.... I am very excited to see a screen adaptation of this story..." - Paul A. Lopes, Newport Beach, CA
"Gripping, Provocative and Real. Could not put it down!" - Andrew Segetti, Entrepreneur
"This is a work of fiction. Or is it. It is compelling and true to life, and very believable, based on a long line of predatory clergy and institutionalized cover up." - Rev. Robert M. Hoatson, Ph.D., Co-Founder and President, Road to Recovery, Inc., Livingston, NJ
