A presidential candidate is unaware he holds a secret that could endanger him and his country in this explosive political novel. "Great reading. . . . Uris mixes politics, history, love and people's passions into yet another bestseller. . . . Compelling." — Tulsa World Spanning the decades from World War II to the 2008 presidential campaign, A God in Ruins is the riveting story of Quinn Patrick O'Connell, an honest, principled, and courageous man on the brink of becoming the second Irish Catholic President of the United States. But Quinn is a man with an explosive secret that can shatter his political ambitions, threaten his life, and tear the country apart—a secret buried for over a half century—that even he does not know . . . "As exciting as Exodus, Topaz, and MILA 18." — Dallas Morning News "Vintage Uris." — Lancaster (PA) Sunday News
