What to expect

THE POWER OF GOD. THE AMBITION OF MEN.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, 118 cardinals are meeting in conclave to cast their votes in the world's most secretive election.

They are holy men. But they are ambitious. And they have rivals. Over the next 72 hours, one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on earth. Who will it be?

'Unputdownable' Guardian
'Gripping' Sunday Times

Critics Review

  • Harris’ superlative skill at depicting power politics makes this an irresistibly gripping papal page-turner.

    Sunday Times, BOOKS OF THE YEAR

  • Thriller of the year . . . with a plot so serpentine and sinuous that I could not bear to put it down.

    Daily Mail BOOKS OF THE YEAR

  • ‘I have been waiting for most of my life for Robert Harris to write a novel that is not gripping, insightful and entertaining. I am waiting still. His latest, Conclave, is superb.

    The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR

  • A real page-turner, with a great twist in the final pages.

    The Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR

  • Finishing this splendid and intelligent story, as with all great fiction, brings an acute sense of loss.
