Winter just released his third novel, Savior's Day, a suspense thriller that weaves together an open case from Israel's vaunted spy agency, the Mossad, with a newly elected Pope whose unlikely background makes him the best candidate to broker a Middle East peace agreement.

Winter's novel chronicles actual events and speculates on their outcome in the tradition of such great writers as Leon Uris, Gore Vidal, Ken Follet, and Herman Wouk.
