Lupo, an experienced Boston-bred journalist with a keen eye for detail, does not present the reader with a completely seminal work.

Then, a few lesser "suspects" were paraded forth to read out "confessions" implicating the three men. The archbishop smiled wanly and shook his head in disbelief when he heard his own name mentioned as one of the agents whom the exiled Milton Obote had chosen to help stage a coup.
