Opus

A tense account of how Opus Dei built power inside the Catholic Church and across the world while drawing on billions from Banco Popular. Gareth Gore follows the collapse of the bank and uncovers a network of money, influence, and coercion behind the sect’s rise.

The narrative brings together bank records, insider accounts, and whistleblower interviews to show how recruits were drawn into servitude and how the organisation backed right wing causes. It will appeal to readers drawn to religious power, financial wrongdoing, and investigative reporting with global reach.
