The mysterious death of a nun results in the closure of the homeless shelter she had devoted her life to. Now, decades later, Father Caspian is brought in to restore The Mission to its previous glory, but he quickly finds himself in over his head. How do you discern what is fact or fiction in a world dominated by addiction, mental illness, and misinformation?
When one of the shelter residents suddenly disappears after claiming he is a CIA operative hiding out on the streets, Caspian is forced to question if he has misjudged some of his clients. Is it possible that this was real, or is Caspian being brought into the delusion with him?
Caspian soon finds himself on a cross-country journey searching for answers because the question begs to be answered, “is there more than meets the eye?”
Bestselling author Nathan Monk's third novel delves deep into a world of intrigue with secret societies and powerful oligarchs, as the debut of Father Caspian helps uncover a treasonous plot that could have catastrophic results for the entire world. Join along as this new cast of characters searches for allies and discovers ancient enemies in this quest for the most elusive treasure of all: the truth.

I really enjoyed a lot of this book. The style is fun and smart; the way it kind of meandered into the main plot was interesting rather than insufferable, and somehow the very unavoidable presence of the author's voice (which often takes me out of a book) engaged me and kept me reading. But the actual plot of the book was actually kind of weak/straightforward and strangely concluded (what even was the “sleeper cell” the book is so bluntly named after?). Interesting and enjoyable read that was ... I don't know, a little bit of a mess in the end.
