The Pope's Men

Serious secrets hide within the walls of the Church: priests no longer loyal to the cloth lobby groups vying for position underworld connections. The Popes Men paints a very real portrait of Pope John Paul IIs secret war with the KGB. With tales of conspiracy recruitment and crimes dating back through the years the mysterious past of priests employed by Moscow is at last out in the open. This thriller presents a detailed and true depiction of Eastern Europe as the Iron Curtain crumbles the KGBs unique method of pulling informers into its web and the workings of the secret services as they plan a series of strikes that personally involve bishops positioned frighteningly close to the Pope. The recent Vatileaks scandal and the ensuing cover-up only represent a fraction of what actually goes on behind closed doors in Rome. By the end of the book readers will also know what could possibly lead to a pope resigning his throne.
