Meer over het boek

Small town life with seemingly normal people going about their daily routine with influence from the catholic church over the community... just to keep things on the straight and narrow... or so it seems. An undercurrent of today's society that of teenage involvement with drugs, starts an unprecedented chain of events... robbery, assault and murder being but a few. Fr Oliver, the local priest becomes embroiled with the police and a local mafia' gangster with shocking results. With Fr Oliver's waning confidence in Superintendent Pangdon he seeks some advice from an old friend who equally has some influential friends of his own... very influential friends with specialist unorthodox methods. John Loughlin's clever integration of everyday life gathers pace and with organised subtlety, the wheels of revenge start to take effect and re-establish the equilibrium of the community... with a real twist in the tale
