Founded in Spain in 1928, the fundamentalist Roman Catholic sect, Opus Dei, today has more than 80,000 members throughout the world. It is larger and more powerful than the Jesuits, and more secretive than the ministry within the Vatican known as The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, whose policies it helps to shape. Based on several years of research, this book sets out to show that Opus Dei now appears to be out of control. The story it tells involves international intrigue and a parade of corpses that includes a pope and a cardinal, several bankers, and a former Franco minister. Meanwhile, Opus Dei's strategists in Rome and Vienna prepare for Christianity's next Crusade against Islam. The author won four National Business Writing Awards for newspaper articles in Canada, and has written four previous non-fiction books on a variety of subjects.
