Heyman, former Chancellor, University of California, Berkeley and former Secretary, Smithsonian Institution "Haro's sequel to Twist of Fate continues Nadine and Quentin's love story. They find temporary happiness but face great challenges in this literate, fascinating novel of pre-World War II. International intrigue and behind-the-scenes politics make this an important historical novel." -Colleen Rae, author of Nearly Naked, and Correspondent, Local Observer, Saugatuck, MI "The adventure continues, and so does the entrancing reading.

The Secret Emissary tells the story of a young Mexican from a wealthy family in Sonora, Mexico. Educated in Spain, Luis Esquerre Calella de Valderano is a skilled researcher and writer, and with a penchant for international relations and diplomacy, he becomes an unofficial Vatican liaison with an American diplomat during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. A talented academic, accomplished musician, and agile sportsman—a friend to popes and aristocrats alike—Luis becomes a collaborator in underground activities against Fascists in Italy, Germany, and Spain. As a covert agent for the Jesuit Superior General and Popes Pius XI and XII and a secret liaison between the Vatican and Jesuit Curia and American military intelligence, Luis cuts a swath through history as he becomes a Monsignor, a Bishop, and after World War II, a Cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church.
