A Pulitzer Prize'winning AuthorIn the mid-1980s a young monsignor from the Vatican's embassy in Washington investigated the problem of pedophile priests. American bishops ignored his findings. Then a young lawyer, hearing a client describe abuse by a priest that began when he was ten, suspected something bigger. The lawsuit he filed touched off a legal war of historic proportions. This is the explosive, sweeping account of that scandal, and the brave few who fought for justice.
