Half-Wits is a spiritual thriller that deals with the very real existence of evil in society today. It is a deep, thought provoking novel that can be read on many levels, and it is used as a text in a number of moral theology classes in colleges and universities.
It is the story of John Fitzsimmons, who, in order to accept the demons from his past, must first conquer the man who delights in his pain and suffering. It is one man's struggle to overcome the darkness of hate, pain, and anger, and to embrace the light of life, hope, and love.

John Fitzsimmons was once an English professor at a university on Long Island. Now he works as a watchman among the retarded and mentally disabled in a sheltered workshop in Boston. He is a man who has stepped away from life and who doesn't want to talk about it. But life will not leave Fitzsimmons alone.
There is more to living than love and friendship. There is pain, there is fear, and there is the spectre of evil. And they must be faced. Fitzsimmons cannot escape the past or avoid the future.
Half-Wits is a gripping tale of implacable evil and overwhelming goodness. It is a story of love and tenderness besieged by cruelty, rage, and death. It deals with the visceral issues which we live today. It is a memorable novel.
