Won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (1959). Also shortlisted or longlisted for 1 other award.

In an impoverished village in southern Italy, the life and death of Giacomo Nerone has inspired talk of sainthood. Father Blaise Meredith, a dying English priest, is sent from the Vatican to investigate—and to try to untangle the web of facts, rumors, and outright lies that surround Nerone's life and death. With spiritual frailty as a backdrop, *The Devil's Advocate* reminds us how the power of goodness ultimately prevails over despair.
