What this book is about
Cardinal Lomeli oversees the most secretive election on Earth — the Papal Conclave — when a series of revelations threatens to tear the College of Cardinals apart. Harris's thriller uses the closed-room conclave as a pressure cooker for examining faith, power, and the gap between institutional church and spiritual truth.
