From Booklist
Kienzle has written another supremely intelligent puzzler featuring his perceptive priest, Father Robert Koesler, and bolstered by a strong cast of engaging supporting characters. In anticipation of a scheduled papal visit, Inspector Walter Koznicki and Lt. Alonzo Tully of the Detroit Police Department design an elaborate blueprint for security to protect the vulnerable pontiff during his brief stopover in one of America's most blighted urban areas. Meanwhile, Joe Cox and Pat Lennon, sometime lovers and investigative reporters for rival newspapers, vie to outscoop each other when a gang of bored, affluent teenagers initiates a violent crime spree. After three priests are murdered and the pope's safety is threatened, Father Koesler, the police, and the press work in unison to apprehend the culprit and prevent further tragedy before the arrival of the Holy Father. The gripping, suspenseful narrative is underscored by a fascinating philosophical and theological examination of the complex and controversial issue of papal infallibility. Kienzle continues to provide a superior brand of mystery with serious spiritual and religious overtones.
