About the Author:
Bill Brodrick was an Augustinian friar before leaving the order to become a practising barrister.
Review:
Extraordinarily moving: a thoughtful and extremely well written tale not only about the lengths to which an oppressive regime will go to protect itself from its people, but also about the unexpected burdens of freedom Guardian A literary and nuanced thriller Sunday Business Post Ireland One of the best-constructed and fasted-paced thrillers I've read in ages Readers' Digest William Brodrick's crime novels have the great (and unusual) merit of being unlike anyone else's, not least because his series hero, Father Anselm, is a Gray's Inn barrister turned Suffolk monk ... always interesting -- Andrew Taylor Sunday Times A profound, uplifting story of murder and spiritual understanding The Tablet
