The Miracle

The Vatican announces that the Virgin Mary will return to Lourdes this year to perform a miracle cure! Will it be a miracle? Or will it be a fraud? Precious lives, loves, and happiness are at Ken the young American who abandons medical treatment for the chance of miracle; Edith the Englishwoman whose miracle cure has made her famous against her will; Gisele Dupree, the French girl whose desperation to escape Lourdes will lead to violence; Liz the hard-bitten journalist who wants to "expose" Lourdes and its miracles...

At the climax comes a surprise twist that only master storyteller Irving Wallace could pull off.

First published in 1984 The Miracle has everything we expect from Wallace at his rich, authentic detail, fast-paced plotting, suspense, and vivid characters.
