About This Book
On a chilly September night, an Episcopal priest hears a private confession in a foreign tongue from a mysterious supplicant who then tries to kill him. After his escape, the priest learns that the words he has heard are unique to the Deathangel murderer imprisoned ten years earlier. Meanwhile, Matt Beck, chaplain at Grasslands Hospital in New York, is trying to get past his own involvement with the Deathangel. The murderer strangled Matt's wife, Kate, and left a small carved wooden angel beside her body. Now, with his companion, photographer Anne Demming, Matt sets out on a search for the truth behind the Deathangel's crimes and murder trial. Their investigation takes them from the hills of New York to the forests of Austria, and reveals a conspiracy involving police, politicians, priests, and terrorists, none of whom want the case reopened. In order to solve the mystery, Matt and Anne must resolve their own relationship and determine whether they are willing to move through forgiveness to love.
