Review A wry take on fame and the miraculous. ― CATHOLIC HERALD Product Description Miracle or scam...? An exhilarating tale from the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of ROAD DOGS.

But with a slew of cash-hungry hucksters on his back, Juvenal's got a trick or two up his sleeve that nobody sees coming... Book Description Miracle or scam...?
