Product Description
Daniel Byrne is an investigator for the Vatican’s secretive Office of the Devil’s Advocate—the department that scrutinizes miracle claims. Over ten years and 721 cases, not one miracle he tested has proved true. But case #722 is different; Daniel’s estranged uncle, a crooked TV evangelist, has started speaking in tongues—and accurately predicting the future. Daniel knows Reverend Tim Trinity is a con man. Could Trinity also be something more?
The evangelist himself is baffled by his newfound power—and the violent reaction it provokes. After years of scams, he suddenly has the ability to predict everything from natural disasters to sports scores. Now the mob wants him dead for ruining their gambling business, and the Vatican wants him debunked as a false messiah. On the run from assassins, Trinity flees with Daniel’s help through the back roads of the Bible Belt to New Orleans, where Trinity plans to deliver a final prophecy so shattering his enemies will do anything to keep him silent.

Michael Koryta reviews Sean Chercover’s new thriller The Trinity Game
I'm always intrigued when a writer who has a good thing going suddenly jumps the rails into new territory. I appreciate the courage, or lunacy (or combination thereof), that it takes to make that leap. Sean Chercover had a hell of a good thing going with his series of Ray Dudgeon PI novels including Big City, Bad Blood and Trigger City, but he decided to wander out on the creative ledge. Boy, am I glad he did.
The Trinity Game is the first in a trilogy about an investigator tasked with verifying miracles for the Vatican... Read the rest of this review at www.kindlepost.com.

Usually when a fiction book is nearly 450 pages, I expect to discover that the author simply wanted to see himself/herself write and they probably could have left out 50-75 pages without affecting the outcome of the book. My bad.........Sean Chercover has written an interesting and fast-paced thriller that fills all 450 pages quite well. Daniel Byrne is a Catholic priest assigned to the Vatican's Office of the Devil's Advocate (ODA), a department designed to debunk or verify so-called miracles which occur worldwide. Obviously the Vatican has a vested interest in ascertaining the integrity of miracles which occur on behalf of, or in violation of, the Church and its doctrine. Byrne is ultimately assigned to investigate his evangelist uncle, Tim Trinity, at the behest of the ODA. Trinty, a southern tent preacher, has become a true "prophet" in the sense that he suddenly has the ability to accurately predict events ranging from the winner of sporting...

Tragically orphaned at childbirth and raised by his tent-show revivalist grifter uncle Tim Trinity, as a very young man Daniel Byrne forgoes a promising boxing career and an alluring woman for the priesthood. Eventually Byrne earns a senior position in the Vatican's Office of the Devil's Advocate, the Church's bureau tasked with investigating and debunking claims of divinely-inspired miracles around the world. Years after turning his back on Trinity and his religious scams, the Vatican dispatches Byrne to America to assess, and disprove, Trinity's newfound abilities to accurately predict future events while speaking in bizarre tongues during his internationally televised sermons. Trinity's ardent followers are convinced God has selected the old grifter as His latest earthly loudspeaker. Elements both official and clandestine in the Vatican believe otherwise, as does Byrne. Byrne travels to Atlanta to confront his uncle, only to find that perhaps Trinity's recent gift might indeed have...

Looking for an fun beach book? Can't get enough of Vatican conspiracy thrillers? Sean Chercover has you ... Chercovered! (Sorry.)THE TRINITY GAME is like Dan Brown meets IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD. By the time the first few chapters are past, the whirlwind plot manages to drag in the Vatican, the FBI, TWO worldwide secret societies, the Vegas mob, Third World politics, Hurricane Katrina, a hot long-lost journalist girlfriend, private hired assassins ... you get the idea. Everything moves at breakneck speed. The characters are sketched with brevity and effectiveness, and the occasional silly bits flash by so fast they barely register. I actually had a hard time putting this down, despite its 400+ page length. If you want a brisk summer read, it's hard to go wrong here. The last chapter strongly hints at further novels with these characters. Sounds like fun to me. |
