The Pope's Chips: Courts, Cardinals and Communists

By Trevor Cunningham

Just short of its conclusion, a murder trial involving an unusual defence unravels due to political interference. In a desperate attempt to camouflage the incompetence of one of its Ministers of State, the government is at pains to prevent the trial proceeding to a verdict. The murder victim was a Minister of State. The defendant faces an uncertain future due to the connivance of mainstream religion and politicians. The efforts of a persistent defence barrister, Margot Newsome, offer the defendant his only hope of a future. An investigative journalist attempts to reveal corruption but the conspiracy deepens. The two issues merge - the defence of the alleged murderer and the revelation of the conspiracy. Steps to solve both issues reach the highest level of government as the journalist and the barrister work together to seek justice.
