HOLY PARROT

A captivating mystery that seamlessly weaves elements of culture, religion, science, and human emotion. Set in the idyllic Caribbean coast, the novel resonates with truths that may be lies and secrets potentially never revealed.

Was Maria lying to hide a despicable secret? Or was she birthing a leader? Extraordinary events unfolded as millions united, chanting one phrase - 'Loro Santo': Holy Parrot.

Buritaca, Colombia: Mary, sixteen, insisted the parrot, known as Gabriel, told her she was to be the mother of a saviour for the new millennium. She said she was a virgin. Pablo, suspected as being the child's father, mysteriously disappeared. Leo Lumière, a student from Australia, was torn between exposing a crime and protecting Maria from those seeking to eliminate her.
