Not Alive, Not Dead: A gripping historical thriller full of intrigue and suspicion

With secrets and corruption hidden behind locked doors, this historical thriller is perfect for fans of Conclave

________________

Buenos Aires, 1976. A military junta has taken power and rules Argentina with an iron fist. People are going missing. There are whispers of secret detention centres, of torture and murder behind locked doors.

Pablo Morales, a young priest, doesn't believe the rumours, until he hears a series of confessions that force him to confront the truth of the government's crimes - as well as the complicity of the Catholic Church.

Torn between his faith, his ambition and his conscience, Pablo knows he must investigate.

But the deeper he explores this dangerous world rife with corruption and violence, the harder it will be to ever escape it . . .
