Revolver Christi (Paperback)

Paperback. No one knows the exact origins of the enigmatic Revolver Christi, a holy relic with a sinister past. When the revolver is implicated in a mysterious crime, Thomas finds himself drawn into an ever-tightening web of intrigue. A piano teacher, a photograph in the attic, an underground sect, an unexplained illness-with each thread he pulls, Thomas inches closer to unravelling the truth. But those elusive answers he craves may lie unnervingly close to home. Subtle, subversive, and filled with a creeping sense of dread-this genre-bending novella is a bold exploration of religion, superstition and human nature.
