Shield of faith

The Pope is ailing, and in the Vatican, Cardinals, gather. Across the world, a naked torso is discovered in Brooklyn, New York, and Gary Logan, Irish-American cop, whose daughter Aisling vanished seven years earlier and ?Heights? Golan, Logan?s irreverent Jewish partner, begin an investigation that becomes anything but routine. While Logan hunts his daughter down, the quest for the Papacy weaves a tapestry of twisted righteousness, ecclesiastical manoeuvring, murder and worse, spanning continents into the heart of a paedophile conspiracy that threatens to rock the Vatican to its foundations. When the praying stops the screaming starts.
