Priests are being murdered in New York. The investigation
uncovers other crimes the Catholic Church would much rather
prefer to let rest in peace. Instead, high-end officials go
for the jugular, portraying the investigators as "Catholic-
bashers" while letting the true criminal go free. Captain
Tony Flynn, a Catholic himself, has a tainted past that
drives him onward to give no criminals preferential
treatment despite political encouragement to do so.
Meanwhile, a dangerous shadow creeps closer to the primary
target in Rome.
Philip Carlo, a seasoned hand at writing true crime
due to his expertise on serial killers, turns his talent to
this gripping fiction about murder, conspiracy and blame.
This book makes one want to check the spine six or seven
times to re-ascertain the fictional heading under which
it's placed. The book is part story, part psychological
thriller and part dissection of a treacherous epidemic
against the world's children. This is an excellent book
with sympathetic characters on all levels. A gripping read,
the tale is easily devoured in one sitting.
Someone is brutally murdering priests in New York City.
The killer seems to be everywhere at once, striking almost
at will. With pressure mounting, the mayor, the governor
and the police commissioner all want this madman stopped
before one more body is found. But they’re not the only
ones. The Church and the Vatican need to have the killer
silenced, for he is their worst nightmare come true—the
living embodiment of a terrible, dark secret.
