Synopsis "Conclave"

The best-selling author of Enigma and Fatherland turns to today's Vatican in a ripped-from-the-headlines novel, and gives us his most ambitious, page-turning thriller yet--where the power of God is nearly equaled by the ambition of men. The pope is dead. Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, one hundred and eighteen cardinals from all over the globe will cast their votes in the world's most secretive election. They are holy men. But they have ambition. And they have rivals. Over the next seventy-two hours one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on Earth.

Author and journalist, Robert Harris studied English Literature at Selwyn College, Cambridge, where he stood out for his activism and his work as the editor of the university newspaper, a prelude to his later career in well-known media such as The Observer or the Sunday Times, as well as for the BBC, where he presented current affairs programs Panorama and Newsnight

In literature, Harris made a name for himself as an essayist, publishing several books of investigative journalism, until in 1992 he achieved worldwide success with Fatherland, a uchronia where Nazi Germany wins World War II. From that moment, he dedicated himself almost exclusively to writing historical novels, with novels like Enigma, Stalin's Son, Pompeii, Imperium, or Conspiracy

Fatherland, Enigma, The Ghost Writer, and Stalin's Son were successfully adapted into film and television
