We construct a smooth projective complex fourfold with large fundamental group whose universal cover is not Stein. The universal cover contains no positive-dimensional compact complex-analytic subvariety, so this disproves Shafarevich's holomorphic-convexity conjecture even under the large-fundamental-group hypothesis.
