MALACHI BRENDAN MARTIN (July 23, 1921-July 27, 1999) was ordained as a Jesuit priest and served as Professor of Palaeography at the Vatican's Pontifical Biblical Institute. From 1958, he served as secretary to Cardinal Augustin Bea during preparations for the Second Vatican Council.

He gained renown as the bestselling author of Hostage to the Devil, The Jesuits, The Windswept House, and many other works.
