Pytagua (The Stranger‪)‬

José Angel Vera, a young Cardinal native of Paraguay, South America, is elected the new Pope. He begins to implement changes that are not fully accepted by the old Cardinals in Vatican City.
During his first trip abroad, a trip he decides to combine with a visit to his town of birth, a major catastrophe occurs and the Pope disappears.
The College of Cardinals doesn’t know how to resolve this conundrum. The Catholic Church needs to fill the sede vacante, but they can’t be sure the Pope is dead.
And so begins a fascinating story about the missing Pope and the place where he spends more than one year of his life. A story that will take the reader to remote places in the jungles of South America.
