Description
When the Pope dies, the world's most powerful leaders, the Cardinals, gather in Rome for the secret election of his successor. But as the Cardinals assemble in the Sistine Chapel, a conspiracy begins to unfold, threatening to shatter the foundations of the Catholic Church. A young, ambitious cardinal must race against time to uncover the truth before the conclave is irrevocably compromised. Robert Harris masterfully weaves a tale of political intrigue, faith, and the corrupting influence of power within the hallowed halls of the Vatican.

this book and film have filled my brain with unending rot; an obsession. the movie handles the plot with far more grace and nuance and adds more characterization to the cast than the book which is really often the reverse for adaptations. vivat innocentia.
