About This Book
A Boston lawyer does anything to win, even defend pedophile priests. Until a boy dies, his family erodes & Jesuit exile unearths the mystery...
***
The Boston Jesuits kick an idealistic young man to the curb. Official Reason: He drinks too much. Real Reason: Dennis Wertz has trouble with authority, particularly the Jesuits' Velvet Mafia.
Homeless, Dennis joins AA and nabs a job tutoring a wealthy Boston Lawyer's daughter at the family compound on Cape Ann. The family patriarch: a lawyer who will win at all costs. Having made his mark defending pedophile priests and the Boston Archdiocese, Opus Dei makes him a pin-up member. He repays the compliment by building a to-scale replica of the Sistine Chapel on his property – complete with Michelangelo's famous fresco ceiling.
While betraying his wife, a Wasp ice-princess, his daughter and his son, his professional methods lead to the death of a young boy. As the family crumbles, clumsy Dennis uncovers the dark secret that has led to a boy's mysterious death and a house's epic downfall.
Sistine is the final installment of Michael Hogan's Rust In Peace Series, which includes the acclaimed novels Man Out of Time and Burial of the Dead
