"Garry O'Connor is a literary luminary who has written excellent books on Sean O'Casey, Laurence Olivier and French theatre...his biography of William Shakespeare was received with all the fire and brimstone that naturally falls upon someone who tries to do something rich and strange with our most prized of cultural assets"

Murder of an Archbishop
Did the Archbishop really die when he was shot celebrating mass in the Cathedral of San Silva, a Portuguese-speaking republic of Central America? Or did he disappear by miracle to appear again in the hinterland jungle of Silva Muruayama to preach again his faith and revolution theology; or, a third possibility, did he really never die but recovered and was saved by his supporters? If he was still alive, he would be a threat not only to the Vatican but also to the ruling joint dictators, Massolo and Hermione Cumba.
