The Pope's Puppet

What if World War II hadn't been started by Hitler but rather a rogue Roman Catholic cardinal who used Adolph as his puppet in his evil game of money, power, and control?

The Pope's Puppet is a novel based on historical events. The players were established through history and many of the facts are true but the overall storyline is entirely a work of fiction.

The characters in the book tell a tale of how a sinister and power hungry Roman Catholic cardinal discovers a fledgling artist and turns him into the monster all too well known and made infamous by his actions and the events of World War II.

The story follows the cardinal as he rises to the highest level of the church and develops a relationship with his young protégé, Adolf. Adolf, living in one of the poorest sections of Vienna, comes under the spell of his wealthy benefactor, and they become deeply involved with each other, maybe a little too deeply.

Meanwhile, there is the protagonist, a young, beautiful, and extremely intelligent English professor who gets recruited as an agent for the British government. Her clandestine mission is to infiltrate the upper German echelon and use her charm and language skills to collect highly sensitive and top secret information, ultimately providing the Allied Forces with the means to end the war.

All the personal relationships presented in this book are purely fictitious! The story does weave real facts and historical occurrences with human drama and adventure BUT DON'T expect a history lesson! The author takes the liberty to twist the historical events of that time period to match his plot-line.
