The Pope's Exorcist

Rome, 1987. Having performed hundreds of successful exorcisms throughout his decades-long career, Father 'Gabriele Amorth' (qv), the Vatican's chief exorcist, travels to Spain to shed light on the peculiar case of troubled Henry, a boy reportedly possessed by a powerful unholy spirit. But as the child's condition deteriorates, the grizzled priest joins forces with local cleric Father Tomas Esquibel to cast out the demonic legions from possessed Henry. However, the exorcism is just the tip of the iceberg. Can guilt, sin, and a well-hidden, centuries-old conspiracy threaten the soul of the Pope's exorcist?—Nick Riganas
