Fresh Fiction Review

Predators & Prayers
Philip Carlo

Reviewed by Vicky Gilpin
Posted July 4, 2005

Thriller Psychological

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.

SUMMARY

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.
