This could become the Catholic version of The Satanic Verses.-Vanessa Friedman, The New York Times Book ReviewSplendid . . . Harris does not disappoint. . . . Whether you have faith in God, the Church, or neither, Conclave will keep you richly entertained.-Dennis Drabelle, The Washington PostTriumphant . . . I am about to use a word I have never knowingly used in any review of any book ever. During my 25-odd years of writing about books I have done my best to avoid clichs, slipshod summaries, oracular pronouncements and indeed anything else that might appear emblazoned on a book jacket. Nonetheless, there is only one possible word to describe Robert Harriss new novel, and it is this: unputdownable.-Ian Sansom, The GuardianA gripping read in the authentic Harris mould . . . Conclave, though, is more than a crime novel, it is also a psychological and political thriller . . . The more one looks, the more cunning the book seems. Conclave is a triumphant addition to Harriss acclaimed output.-David Grylls, The Sunday TimesA gripping read. There are plenty of plot twists, revelations and high politicking to hook readers in. . . . An ecclesiastical version of House of Cards . . . Conclave is admirably brisk-and its final twist is great fun.-Robbie Millen, The TimesA slick and fast-paced thriller . . . This entertaining and satisfying page-turner tells the tense story of the Machiavellian machinations of ambitious men, locked in a power-struggle that can only end in a puff of white smoke and power.-Huston Gilmore, The Daily ExpressAmbition and intrigues are familiar ground to a former political journalist . . . gripping.-Rachel Cooke, The ObserverFast-written and suspenseful, its elegantly written entertainment from a first-rate storyteller.-Simon Humphreys, The Mail on SundayDespite papal fiction being such a crowded church, Harris, in Conclave, contrives a twist involving the number of cardinal-electors that seems to me completely new.-Mark Lawson, The GuardianThe novel begins to grip like a vice and manages to convey all the drama of an election without resorting to melodrama. He pulls off the difficult trick of making his cardinals seem no less holy for all their human foibles and, although this ruminative and low-key novel is very different from Harriss other books, it is well up to their standard.-Charlotte Heathcote, Sunday ExpressThe smartest bestselling author at work today . . . [Conclave is] a modern-day story that explores the power, glory and skullduggery behind the process of electing a new pope.-Richard T. Kelly, Esquire (UK)Another high-class Harris thriller.-James Walton, Readers Digest (UK)An impressive outing from an extremely versatile author.-Publishers Weekly"Robert Harris, creator of grand, symphonic thrillers from Fatherland to An Officer and a Spy, scores with a chamber piece of a novel set in the Vatican in the days after a fictional pope dies.An illuminating read for anyone interested in the inner workings of the Catholic Church; for prelate-fiction superfans, it is pure temptation." -Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewAbout the AuthorROBERT HARRIS is the author of ten best-selling novels: Fatherland, Enigma, Archangel, Pompeii, Imperium, The Ghost Writer, Conspirata, The Fear Inde.
