Nothing solved
This book covers what is still a disgrace to the catholic Church,, paedophile priests! Is is a sad testament to th state of the church in today's world. We need faith, but not at the expense of perversion by the clergy. Like every other scenario of a profession, not all are guilty, BUT, without Fredricks by the guilty ones the church is complicit in these heinous acts!

This was a Goodreads giveaway win - Thank you!
Wow! When you put the Mafia, the police and FBI, the Catholic church and wrongs that needed to be righted all together, you have a very complex and interesting read. This will definitely keep your interest. Very well done.

This book was not a book I particularly enjoyed reading. I did not care for the subject matter, which I found to be distasteful, or the disjointed flow of the book. I would ask the reader to read other reviews for an accurate picture of this book.

A battle between the NYC police the mafia and the catholic church. Dark secrets come to light of a broken church. A thrilling plot for revenge. Punishment for those who deserve to be punished but still hold power in the church. This book does discuss a sensitive topic of child abuse. This is a fast pace read that draws you in with the riveting story. A very good read.
