Product Description
Somewhere in an unnamed Eastern bloc country, someone is out to silence Cardinal Bern. Is it the Secret Police, or is it - more shockingly - fanatical Catholic activists who believe that Bern, by keeping the peace between Church and State, has finally compromised himself too far?
Narrowly escaping an assassination attempt, Bern is abducted by sinister, anonymous men, and spirited away to a safe-house against his will. Evading his unknown captors, he is faced with a horrifying proposition: no longer sure of whom he can trust, Bern realises that he alone can avert the revolution which threatens to tear his country apart...

The Colour of Blood
Brian Moore is generally described as a "Catholic Novelist". Now before this description puts you off his novels generally deal with Catholics who have a moral dilemma to wrestle with. In this particular novel Cardinal Benn as a Cardinal of the Church is expected to behave in a certain manner but, as a man, sometimes he questions the decisions he has to make. The novel is far less bland than my description. I have read several of Moore's novels and, believe it or not, he is a riveting read.
