An Argentinean cleric, tortured in the 1970s, is rescued and brought to Rome. A generation later, having risen within the hierarchy, a candidate for the papacy himself, he must confront his past.

As a young and outspoken priest, Luca Rossini was brutally tortured in an Argentine military prison, and then nursed back to health by the beautiful Isabel.

Exiled to Rome to avoid scandal, Rossini becomes a cardinal and the pope’s confidante. He is admired and feared by his colleagues, for he understands the Church, speaks frankly and knows how to present his ancient faith to the media. When the pope becomes gravely ill and a successor must be chosen, Rossini takes a central role.

In the midst of the political intrigue that surrounds the selection of a new pope, Isabel arrives in Rome - along with Rossini’s daughter. Suddenly, Rossini must confront painful memories of Argentina and the scandalous passion of his long-suspended love affair. Eminence is Morris West at the peak of his powers as a novelist, offering profound insights into the workings of the Catholic Church in a gripping personal story.
