In 1978, a little-known country priest is inaugurated as Pope John Paul I. Promising liberal reforms and progress for the Church, the new Pope warns three power-drunk cardinals that they will be removed from the Vatican.
Thirty-three days after his election, he is found dead, and no autopsy is performed.
But that’s only the beginning of the story…A gripping mystery, inspired by the true-life event of Pope John Paul I’s death and the conspiracies surrounding it, pitting power against faith in a battle for the ultimate truth.
