Everybody loves Father Francis Loyola, the humble pastor of a Catholic church in Boston. But his world is turned upside-down when a sniper attack during Sunday Mass forces him to confront his long-buried past as a covert assassin in service to the Pope.
To uncover the truth about who is behind the attack, Loyola must take on old enemies and former allies, all while evading the dogged investigation of homicide detective Martina Rocha and interference from the formidable and enigmatic nun, Sister Belina Fortis.
Loyola’s search for answers will take him from the streets of Boston to a fortified compound in Bosnia, a medieval castle in France, and finally to Rome, pursued every step of the way by an army of fanatic monks, heavily armed American mercenaries, and Interpol investigators.
The Pope’s Hitman will keep you guessing until the final mayhem-filled pages of its breathless climax during Midnight Mass at Saint Peter’s Basilica, as Loyola races to thwart a shocking conspiracy to seize control of the Catholic Church!
