About This Book

From an electrifying new voice in suspense fiction comes The Pope Must Die, an explosive thriller inspired by Nostradamus's prophecy that a young pope will destroy the Holy See.

Espionage, terrorism, politics, and religion converge as Amanda O'Brien and Jordan Harrison rush to stop a conspiracy of the highest order.

Sixtus VI, the first American pope, has been installed as the supreme pontiff. From a young age, he has been sponsored by Islamist radicals who have propelled him to the top of the Vatican. Leveraging forces within the U.S. government, Sixtus and his conspirators plot to unleash a nuclear weapon that will destroy Washington, D.C. and kill our nation's leaders.

Amanda O'Brien is the resourceful, Gen-Z, CIA officer determined to stop Sixtus. Partnering with Jordan Harrison, a junior FBI agent who is unexpectedly plunged into the world of espionage, kidnapping, and murder, they travel across Europe in a perilous race against time to expose the scheme. Navigating a global web of terrorists and traitors, they reach a chilling conclusion: To save American democracy, the pope must be assassinated.

The Pope Must Die is the thought-provoking, gripping, international thriller depicting the ultimate clash: Western Christianity versus Muslim extremism. Let the battle begin.
