From the Back Cover

"One of those infrequent whodunits that transcend the genre . . . [with] page-turning pace and vivid characters."--Time
Someone has hacked into the Pope's personal computer, not to spy on the Vatican, but to send an urgent plea for help: save our lady of the tears. The crumbling Baroque church in the heart of Seville is slated for demolition-but two of its defenders have suddenly died. Accidents? Or murders? And was the church itself somehow involved? Father Lorenzo Quart is dispatched to investigate the situation-and stay alive while doing so. Thus begins this sophisticated and utterly suspenseful page-turner. A superb entertainment, The Seville Communion is an intricate thriller that has taken readers by storm.
"An elegant thriller . . .This is a book to be savored. It is as rich and complex as the best of the golden sherries produced in the wineries around Seville."--The Denver Post

Internationally acclaimed author Arturo Perez-Reverte was born in 1951 in Spain, where he lives. His bestselling books have been translated into nineteen languages in thirty countries and have sold millions of copies.
