The Papal Decree

The Catholic Church's best-kept secret. The ancient scrolls which threaten that secret. And a journalist prepared to discover the truth at any cost.

1947, the Qumran Valley. Ancient scrolls are discovered that the Vatican desperately tries to suppress. Only five men know of their existence. But now four of the men have been found dead . . .

Priest and double agent, Rafael, is sent to investigate. The evidence he discovers may implicate journalist Sarah Monteiro, who already knows too many of the Church's secrets.

Finding themselves dangerously entangled in a life-threatening conspiracy that the church will go to any length to protect, Rafael and Sarah must uncover the truth before the killers do . . .

Reviews

For all its savagery - Other People is a funny book - an achievement light years ahead of his earlier novels

—— The Times

Powerful and electrifying... Other People is a metaphysical thriller, Kafka reshot in the style of Psycho

—— J. G. Ballard

One of the most gifted novelists of his generation

—— Time

Amis is a force unto himself... There is, quite simply, no one else like him

—— Washington Post Book World

Other People is "about" a descent into Hell, Hell being "other people" - it's a very strange and impressive performance

—— Observer
