Morris West se ve svých dílech zabýval hlubokými morálními dilematy a duchovními otázkami, často zasazenými do světa církve a politiky. Jeho styl je charakteristický napínavým dějem a pronikavým vhledem do lidské psychiky. West zkoumal střet víry a světských ambicí, zkoumal povahu moci a tajemství lidské duše. Jeho romány jsou poutavým zkoumáním cesty k vykoupení a odpuštění.
John Spada publicly runs an enormous multi-national corporation, privately he heads Proteus, a clandestine resistance movement. His aim is to free prisoners of conscience wherever they may be. As the story unfolds, Spada himself becomes an outlaw, and holds the world hostage.

The code name: SALAMANDER Forged in the flames of war. A symbol of courage and justice. The mark of the final power. An Italian general is found dead in his apartment, a card engraved with the image of the Salamander lying by his corpse. Colonel Matucci begins the routine investigation, only to find himself catapulted into the centre of a desperate web of political violence and intrigue. As he digs deeper, he is faced with an agonising choice: how much is he prepared to pay to survive - his lover... his conscience... or more?
