The new thriller from J.M. Berger!
Fall 2026, Crooked Lane Books
When an active shooter tries to kill Father Francis Loyola, the beloved pastor of a Catholic church in Boston, he is forced to confront his long-buried past as an assassin in service to the Vatican. His quest to find answers and protect the Church will set him at odds with a globe-spanning conspiracy that runs from Boston to Bosnia to Saint Peter’s Basilica, putting him on a collision course with an army of monastic zealots and bringing him face to face with his successor, the Holy Father’s newest hand-picked killer, Sister Belina Fortis. Packed with compelling characters and cinematic action, The Pope’s Hitman will keep you guessing until the final pages of its breathtaking Christmas Eve climax.

EXTREMISM
A rising tide of extremist movements threatens to destabilize civil societies around the globe. It has never been more important to understand extremism, yet scholars and policy makers can't even define who is an extremist and why. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, J. M. Berger offers an introduction to extremist movements, explaining what extremism is, how extremist ideologies are constructed, and why extremism can escalate into violence. Available in six languages, including English, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Finnish.
