Danny Hansen, the vigilante priest who is no longer a
priest, has been incarcerated in Ironwood State Prison the
past three years serving a 50-year sentence for murders he
did not commit. Yes, he had killed people deserving of
harsh judgment that the law wouldn't touch, but this time,
he stepped in and took the fall for Renee Gilmore, the
woman he loved more than life itself. After all that's
happened, Danny is filled with remorse. He's embraced a new
life and taken a solemn oath of non-violence as the only
way to survive his time in prison. His biggest heartache is
being separated from Renee.
Danny has just been transferred to Basal Institute of
Correction and Rehabilitation, a new experimental prison
with an entirely different set of rules and regulations.
All privileges, such as visitation and phone calls, have to
be earned. And the tiniest infraction is dealt with
harshly. From the very first day, Warden Marshall Pape
makes it clear that he is going to break Danny's vow of non-
violence by any means possible. Danny soon learns what the
warden meant when he said, "Welcome to Hell."
At the same time as Danny's transfer, Renee starts
receiving threatening phone calls saying they know about
her -- and that her beloved priest is going to die. Frantic
to reach Danny to let him know he's in danger, Renee is
unable to do so with him now in Basal. This is just the
beginning of a terrifying game played by a mysterious
manipulator out to get Danny and Renee at any cost. Frantic
to save Danny, Renee follows a path that finally leads her
to the prison -- and into life-threatening danger.
Basal Prison is a "monster factory" run by a sadistic
warden whose power is absolute and whose evil manipulation
of prisoners makes their lives a hellish nightmare. The
heart-pounding tension of THE SANCTUARY is ratcheted high
and will keep readers glued to the pages in anticipation of
the final outcome. Ted Dekker's sequel to THE
PRIEST'S GRAVEYARD is a thriller not to be missed.
THE SANCTUARY is the gripping story of vigilante priest,
Danny Hansen, who is now serving a fifty year prison term in
California for the murder of two abusive men. Filled with
remorse, Danny is determined to live out his days by a code
of non-violence and maneuvers deftly within a ruthless
prison system.
But when Renee Gilmore, the woman he loves, receives a box
containing a bloody finger and draconian demands from a
mysterious enemy on the outside, Danny must find a way to
escape.
They are both drawn into a terrifying game of life and
death. If Renee fails, the priest will die; if Danny fails,
Renee will die. And the body count will not stop at two.
THE SANCTUARY is Ted Dekker at his best, a powerful
thriller that relentlessly plumbs the depths of punishment
and rehabilitation, both in a flawed corrections system and
in the human heart.
