  • "If John le Carré took on Vatican politics, his book of suspense might aspire to be much like this one."

    Ron Hansen, Author of Mariette in Ecstasy and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

  • "The Death of a Pope is a great Read — in every sense of the term."

    Ralph McInerny, Author of the Father Dowling Mysteries

  • "A faith-driven theological thriller, narrated by a storyteller of the first order . . ."

    Joseph Pearce, Author of The Quest for Shakespeare

  • "If you love the Catholic Church, you will probably love this book whether or not you love a good story. If you love a good story, you will probably love this book whether or not you love the Catholic Church. But if you love both the Church and a good story, you will certainly love this book."

    Peter Kreeft, Author of The God Who Loves You
