HolyPhone Confessional Crisis

The HolyPhone Confessional Crisis is a technology crime and church thriller. The Vatican introduces HolyPhones into confessionals in Europe and the Americas. These smartphones connect those seeking confession to the Vatican Confessional Call Centre, part of a Church initiative to reduce the workload of its priests and generate new income. An alliance - of a female Spanish member of Opus Dei, an American lady whose father runs a southern fundamentalist church, an Israeli pro-Settler technology genius and an ex-banker-turned- priest, a past lover of the American - conspire to cream-off a slice of the HolyPhone's confessional revenues. Cardinal da Ferraz is responsible for the HolyPhone's success. He has suspicions. He locates Davide, who conceived the HolyPhone, and deploys an Irish policeman with his Australian computer crime sidekick to identify if there is a problem. They must find out before the Church suffers. More than the Church's finances are at stake. [This is the first novel in The Corruption Series. It is a technology, crime and church thriller set in Rome, Israel and Spain.]
