Last Pope

VATICAN CITY, 29 SEPTEMBER 1978: THE WORLD WAKES TO THE SHOCKING NEWS THAT POPE JOHN PAUL I IS DEAD, JUST A MONTH AFTER HIS ACCESSION . . .

Thirty years later in London, young journalist Sarah Monteiro receives a mysterious package. Enclosed is a list of names and a coded message. Moments afterwards a masked assassin attempts to silence her for ever.

It seems Sarah holds the key to unveiling a deadly secret - a plot that implicates unscrupulous mercenaries and crooked politicians, and which goes to the very heart of the Vatican. Sarah has no choice but to run, forced into a ruthless game of cat-and-mouse. She can trust no one, especially as her father's name appears on the incriminating list . .

Sarah finds herself at the centre of a worldwide conspiracy, whose keepers will stop at nothing to protect it.
