Sinopsis

It's an age-old Catholic ritual: worshipers confessing their sins and asking for forgiveness. But at Saint Pius Catholic Church in Baltimore, something is terribly wrong.

A disturbing number of parishioners have unburdened their souls to priests only to become victims of terror and violence-even murder. Their confessions blanket the range of human transgressions, and their penance is harsh and brutal. These retributional acts appear to follow the creed: "limb for limb, eye for eye, tooth for tooth." The Monsignor at Saint Pius, Father John Bashian, is devastated by these escalating attacks. In desperation, he reaches out to a boyhood friend, Matt Sorensen, now a Special Agent with the FBI. Bless Me Father examines the actions of people whose greed and selfishness drive them to trample on the lives of others. It's a compelling journey into the worlds of religious dogma and police work.

Biografía del autor

In his writing, Lynn Terrell draws heavily on real life experiences. His familiarity with the Catholic Church is traceable to time spent in a Catholic military school, where-as he says-he learned to march and say the Rosary. He credits his knowledge of the FBI to a close friend, a veteran FBI agent. Terrell's other novels are A Gathering Storm and The Descendant.
