Murder in the Vatican: The Revolutionary Life of John Paul and The Vatican Murders of 1978
Murder in the Vatican is two books in one volume. The Revolutionary Life of John Paul is the only existing biography of the 33-day Pope. The Vatican Murders of 1978 investigates the murders of John Paul and his six closest confidants.The Church, in its biographical briefs, keeps his life a secret, The Secret Life of John Paul. It would prefer that people remember him as a man who ignored the issues of his day and spent his life on his knees. Nothing could be more short of the truth, for, as a matter-of-fact, he had spent much of his life pulling others up off of their knees and putting them to work caring for the immense orphan population of his time. Concerning the issues, particularly human rights issues, for twenty years as a priest and a bishop, he was a rampaging locomotive running about the press and the courts of Italy. It was his lobbying in Italian Parliament that had made it legal for single persons to adopt children in Italy. When a member challenged, "But, that would make it legal for homosexuals to parent children," he responded, "The need to parent children is a basic human want . . . Until the day comes that we can guarantee basic human rights to the tiniest minority we cannot truthfully call ourselves a democracy." In a general audience, a reporter challenged him on the possibility of women ordination. John Paul reached for a microphone and told the crowd, "Never, forget that God is more our Mother than She is our Father." Then there is the most prolific testimony of this man who, more than any other, brought about sexual education into both private and public schools, "We have made of sex the greatest of sins, whereas in itself it is nothing more than human nature and not a sin at all.".

Mentiras y crÃmenes en el Vaticano
In 1998, three members of the Swiss Guard are found dead in the Vatican The day before the autopsies, the Vatican announces that it was convinced that Cédric Tornay, in a "moment of madness", had killed the Estermann couple before committing suicide. Two years later, this book brings to light evidence implicating the Vatican's role in the crimes. Evidence includes medical reports documenting the perfect mental health of Cedric Tornay on the day of the crime, and the fact that the alleged killer did not die after the couple, but was in fact dead before their murder. Blurb in Spanish: La verdad sobre el triple asesinato en las dependencias de la guardia suiza. En 1998 dos miembros de la Guardia Suiza y la mujer de uno de ellos aparecieron asesinados en el Vaticano. Antes de realizar las autopsias, la Santa Sede anunció que tenÃa la "certeza moral" de que uno de ellos, Cédric Tornay, habÃa matado al matrimonio en un "arrebato de locura" y después se habÃa suicidado. La versión oficial fue completándose con las enfermedades mentales del presunto asesino. Mentiras y crÃmenes en el Vaticano recopila pruebas suficientes para demostrar que la Santa Sede ocultó informes médicos que demostraban la perfecta salud de Tornay, asà como el hecho de que el supuesto culpable murió antes que las vÃctimas. Las verdaderas causas del crimen hay que buscarlas en un ajuste de cuentas entre los grupos con mayor poder en la curia: el Opus Dei y la masonerÃa..
