The Cardinal
The quiet city of Cambridge is shaken when confronted with the monstrous details of a crime. But everything gets worse when a child disappears on the way to school. The boy is found in a forest, naked and strangled. Adam Immanuel, an English writer, is seen fleeing the woods. And everyone, except a journalist and a university professor, believes he is guilty.
At the same time, a cardinal arrives in Vatican City amid great controversy. The new Pope has been murdered, the world prepares for another conclave, and a whistleblower continues to publish compromising information about the Holy See. However, has the newly arrived cleric come to stay? Why is he hiding his association with a professional assassin? Will he be able to resist the advances of a beautiful, but anything but innocent, woman?
After The Death of the Pope, Nuno Nepomuceno finally returns and presents us with The Cardinal. Set between Cambridge and Vatican City and inspired by real crimes, this thriller draws us into a disturbing psychological spiral that only Nuno knows how to create. A gripping, unputdownable book.
