Description

A former priest living in Rwanda, Father Terry Dunn has witnessed unimaginable violence—and answered it with a kind of justice all his own. Returning to Detroit to raise money for children orphaned by the genocide, he joins forces with Debbie, whose troubled past and appetite for hard cash make her an unlikely partner in a dangerous fundraising scheme aimed at a local gangster. As their plan takes shape, compassion, deception, desire, and revenge become increasingly difficult to separate. Blending razor-sharp dialogue, dark humor, and morally complex characters, this crime novel explores the uncertain boundaries between faith, love, and justice.
