El hombre que no fue jueves

Shortly before stepping down, Benedict XVI dusts off an old file: the cause for canonizing G. K. Chesterton, creator of Father Brown. It hangs on an odd affair of 1929, when Pius XI asked the English writer to serve the Church and the episode was then buried in silence. Kept under lock for decades, the papers come back to light while the Vatican is shaken by feuds, stolen documents and scandals. The cause looks worthy, but the file hides many mysteries and has many enemies. Comic and serious at once, this fiction built on Chesterton's life reads the political, religious and literary intrigues of history as if they were a novel.
