The beast

We are in the Vatican and the election of Cardinal Leonardo as Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church revives the hopes of the faithful of the Holy See for its cleansing of the sworn cardinals. Cardinal Giovanni, a young and charming professor at the University of the Sorbonne, voluntarily undertakes to bring about the purification by murdering, through the cover provided by his episcopal garb, those who are plaguing the Holy See. And himself entangled in sin, he asks to be atoned for through the abominable murders that he masterfully commits, without being noticed. His double personality and his tortured childhood, which shaped his character, cause him unbearable guilt, without being able to get rid of it. His acquaintance with Diana, a horse trainer, seems to calm the constant contradictions of his character, which guide his actions and often bring him to a dead end, and at the same time put an end to his bisexual eroticism. Will their love manage to distance him from pedophile, pedophilia and his brutal self, or will he write another tragedy in his troubled life?

A cardinal's struggle between light and darkness, combined with the seven-sealed secrets behind the imposing doors of the Vatican, "give birth" to an exciting novel, full of twists and turns and strong emotions.
