TitleLeadingThe
SynopsisFather Michael Dominic, prefect of the Vatican Secret Archives in Rome, has been asked to transport the original documents from the 17th-century trial of Galileo to a modern historical mock trial at Loyola Law School in Chicago, celebrating the 400th anniversary of the original trial. There Galileo will be tried again by the Vatican's current chief prosecutor, a scheming bishop from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith-historically known as the Holy Office of the Inquisition-and defended by a prominent law professor with a secret past. The pope's health is failing, but not fast enough for some in the Roman Curia, ambitious men positioning themselves to be front runners in the eventual election of a new pope.When the priceless historical exhibits are stolen the night before the trial, Michael's team must split up to follow leads that might get them back, leaving him exposed to certain plots by opposing forces. Peril abounds as the team tries to determine who they are up against, what their motivations are, and why the retrial of Galileo is so important to them. Hidden agendas come to light and help comes from unexpected places as Father Michael faces difficult choices and finds loyalties tested when he works to unravel The Galileo Gambit.
