    All Zoe Tyler wanted to do was to pass her A-Levels and go to university.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    Aldo rolls his eyes, annoyance genuine this time. “Oh, for God’s sakes. The worst thing we ever did was teach children they have rights.”

    “You don’t mean that,” Thomas says patiently.

    “I do,” Aldo insists darkly. “Freedom of expression does not mean you have the right to scrawl ‘skibidi toilet’ all over the third floor bathroom.”

    *******

    The ancient and venerable St Peter's School for Boys elects a surprise new headmaster, and Aldo reaches heights of stress headache never before experienced by mortal man.

    Summary

    “You’d like him, you know,” Thomas said.

    “I do like him,” Aldo said automatically, twirling the stem of his wine glass, looking into its deep red like it was a scrying mirror.

    “I mean as a friend. If you spent more time with him. You have a lot in common.”

    “Do we use the same shampoo?” asked Aldo, raising an eyebrow. Thomas gave him a warning look but his mouth was tugging up.

    “You’re both stubborn,” he said bluntly.

    Cardinals like Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini know all too well how slowly things move within the walls of the Vatican. But with Vincent Benítez's election cracking their world open, and the new Pope cutting away the old branches to make room for the new, both find that change is flooding in everywhere, mostly within themselves.
