Overview

THE BISHOP AND THE BASILICA A high-stakes international Vatican conspiracy thriller In The Bishop and Basilica Monique Meiers delivers a spellbinding blend of suspense, intelligence, and intrigue-propulsive, atmospheric, and impossible to put down. In the heart of Istanbul-where ancient empires have risen, fallen, and been reborn-a covert operation is quietly set in motion. John Cookson, a senior Catholic cardinal alarmed by the collapse of moral authority, engineers a radical plan that reaches far beyond the Vatican walls-one that harnesses secret financial networks and emerging technology to restore what he believes the world has lost. Drawn into this world is Andrea Bailey, a brilliant former investment banker newly released from the shadow of a high-profile trial. Restless and searching for purpose, she accepts an extraordinary offer from the enigmatic businessman Yussuf Calik-to lead a revolutionary international Bitcoin institution. What begins as a career resurrection rapidly spirals into danger as Andrea uncovers hidden Vatican connections and a looming religious deadline-the Feast of the Epiphany. Turning to her trusted circle of girlfriends and a rugged bodyguard, she races across borders-from Istanbul to Monaco-through a labyrinth of deception and peril. Nothing is as sacred as it seems. Trust no one. Fear everything. The scandal that could shake the world is about to explode.
