FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE ENGLISH ASSASSIN

Art restorer Gabriel Allon is trying to put his secret service past behind him. But when his friend Benjamin Stern is murdered in Munich, he’s called into action once more.

Police in Germany are certain that Stern, a professor well known for his work on the Holocaust, was killed by right-wing extremists. But Allon is far from convinced. Not least because all trace of the new book Stern was researching has now mysteriously disappeared…

Meanwhile, in Rome, the new Pope paces around his garden, thinking about the perilous plan he’s about to set in motion. If successful, he will revolutionize the Church. If not. he could very well destroy it…

In the dramatic weeks to come, the journeys of these two men will intersect.

Long-buried secrets and unthinkable deeds will come to light and both their lives will be changed for ever…

’The Confessor opens with a startling twist, then gets even better. It will resonate with fans of Dan Brown’s novels, as long-buried secrets about unthinkable deeds are unearthed. The pace is relentless…’

’A shrewd, timely thriller that opens the heart of the Vatican.’
