White Smoke

From bestselling author of Irish Gold—a blockbuster tale of the next Papal election and the fate of the Church. When New York Times reporter Dennis Molloy's investigations threaten to expose a Vatican banking scandal, those responsible will go to any lengths to stop him, including murder. Meanwhile, a lone assassin stalks the Vatican set to destroy the new Pope as soon as the traditional white smoke clears from the Cardinals' meeting room.
