Description
A former Franciscan monk named Juvenal works at a Detroit detox clinic, where rumors of miraculous healing and visible stigmata draw the desperate, the curious, and those looking for an opportunity. When he becomes involved with Lynn Marie Faulkner, a determined record promoter, his quiet life is pulled into a scheme shaped by money, belief, addiction, and manipulation. Blending crime fiction with spiritual and philosophical questions, the novel asks what it means to accept reality—and what people are willing to believe when hope is at stake. Though unusual in subject matter, it bears the author’s trademark ear for sharp dialogue, colorful characters, dark humor, and morally complex situations.
