A gripping novel of evil, justice,
sacrifice and atonement…
As a junior barrister, Brendan Connolly receives a brief to defend a notorious paedophile.
Although only assisting a QC, the silk is compromised mid-trial and forced to resign, leaving Brendan to assume the defence. He achieves the almost impossible – a verdict of not guilty by way of insanity – but the prospect of turning the predator loose proves too much for the sincere and principled young barrister. In a shock move he dumps his girlfriend, defies his parents and quits the Bar to become a Jesuit priest.
Twenty years later, hearing confession, he is confronted by the very same man. Coerced into defending his latest charge of murder, Brendan finds a unique way of turning the tables on the evil predator.
