He is particularly concerned because with the old Pope in St Peters he may be in with a chance for the top job. Another problem is that the priest under suspicion is a local legend - a liberal who has reached out to the gay community - and the archbishop doesnt want to be seen to be persecuting him. Daniel is teamed up with the archbishops enforcer, and Bolognas official exorcist, to crack the case, which will lead to murder, and wild claims of possession...</p>...(*_*)9781408715536_<p>When Daniel Leicester goes in search of his late wifes missing bicycle in the oppressive heat of a Bologna summer, he is transported to her final days.
