Father Confessor

In the tradition of film noir, Father Confessor explores the dark side that resides within everyone. The ending will surprise and shock the reader. A series of killings in New York City target priests and prostitutes and the city is on edge, ready to explode. By chance, or perhaps destiny, a small gathering of men and women are brought together during a transcontinental train journey leaving New York City. Among them is the serial killer, but any one of them has the inner darkness, the inner rage, and the capacity to commit hideous deeds. An Orthodox monk, tormented by the memory of his past, is the fulcrum of attention, laying bare the repressed feelings of fellow passengers-feelings that may not be uncommon to many of us. And in doing so, he exposes his own frailty and vulnerability. As a violent storm gathers momentum outside, buffeting the train with wind and rain, the storm within each person also rages. And in the end, it is up to the reader to decide if the killings will end.
