It may only be a matter of time before God unleashes a plaque upon the earth. Why does evil against the most vulnerable go unpublished by a loving, all powerful God? Operation Wormwood answers that question. It’s a Canadian bestseller that critics are calling ‘one heck of a thriller.’ The Archbishop is carried into the emergency department of the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s, the first of many victims suffering from severe nosebleeds and excruciating pain. Dr. Luke Gillespie and Nurse Agatha Catania are unable to diagnose their symptoms. Dr. Gillespie and Sgt. Nicholas Myra, an investigator with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, join forces to solve this twisted mystery. But the story takes a critical turn when Sister Pius, a nun from Mercy Convent, informs them about Wormwood: a disease she believes is created by God to kill perpetrators of the most heinous crimes. Is God truly punishing these criminals, or is a serial killer targeting them?
