Perfect for you if...

You enjoy political thrillers with real institutional stakes and shadowy power plays rather than just personal vendettas.
You're interested in the intersection of religion, politics, and intelligence work as plot fuel.
You like mysteries that span multiple locations and involve characters with genuine professional risk at stake.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a fast-paced page-turner with constant action; this is more about piecing together conspiracies than chase sequences.
You prefer romance to be the central plot rather than a subplot between the detective and ambassador's daughter.
You're sceptical of stories that hinge on Vatican intrigue or Cold War nostalgia as compelling on their own.

About this book

Washington, DC police detective Peter Gallagher investigates what appears to be the accidental death of a young Jesuit priest. His investigation reveals a far more complex situation rooted in a Cold War political conspiracy involving Washington power brokers, the CIA, and the Vatican's inner workings. Gallagher partners with Laura Miller, the daughter of an American ambassador, to uncover the truth. Together they travel through Washington, DC and Central America, putting their careers and lives at risk. Spies, politicians, and prelates compete to outmaneuver each other in a struggle for temporal and spiritual power, each justifying their clandestine actions through a shared motivation they call The Greater Glory.
