THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Now a major motion picture starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and Isabella Rossellini
What happens behind the closed doors of the Roman Catholic Conclave? The mysterious rituals surrounding the congregation of cardinal electors responsible for electing a new pope is brilliantly researched by Robert Harris, bringing an age old tradition to life. Set against the swirling of religious theory comes an explosive political drama that will have you on the edge of your seat.
The Pope is dead.
Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, 118 cardinals from all over the globe will cast their votes in the world's most secretive election. They are holy men. But they have ambition. And they have rivals.
Over the next 72 hours, one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on earth.

Critics Review
Harris’ superlative skill at depicting power politics makes this an irresistibly gripping papal page-turner.
Thriller of the year . . . with a plot so serpentine and sinuous that I could not bear to put it down.
‘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.
A real page-turner, with a great twist in the final pages.
Finishing this splendid and intelligent story, as with all great fiction, brings an acute sense of loss.
