Blurb:

There are some f**ked up people in the world, unfortunately the worst kind ended up destroying my life.

My wife had been murdered and I made it my mission to find out why and by whom.

But when the ‘why’ and the ‘whom’ invaded my small town, my house, my life, and turned it upside down, it brought more death and devastation.

When you don’t know your enemy it’s hard to know who to trust. I had the greatest religion on earth on one side and a mad man on the other.

I was stuck in the middle.

My name is Gabriel. I had a perfect life, a perfect wife, and now I am fighting for justice.

Standalone - Suspense/thriller for readers over the age of 18

Review
Rating: 4.5* 

This was a refreshing, albeit twisted read.  It was a read that drew me in from the very beginning and wouldn't let me go until the very end.

Gabriel is determined to find his wife's killer as he feels the police aren't taking the case seriously.  His determination sets in motion a series of events with major repercussions all around.  This is a complex story where it is difficult to identify the lies from the truths as well as trying to work out who can be trusted.  The roots lie in an abuse scandal linked to the Catholic Church and a spin-off cult.

Explosive, intense and gripping.  A definite edge of your seat read that will shock and awe you.  Excellent writing that deals with a complex story in a way that keeps you completely hooked.  Suspense writing at its very best.

Excerpt: The house was cold, empty, and full of memories as I walked from room to room. I stood at the end of my bed and stared, willing my wife to return to us. I wanted to picture her naked, her perfect body lying prone, waiting for me. Instead what I saw was blood and dead eyes wide with fright. My stomach recoiled and I clamped a hand over my mouth. Maybe it was a mistake to stay here. Maybe I should have done what my parents had advised and moved out immediately after, but I was torn. I wanted my daughter safe. I wanted her to be free of her nightmares and to be as far away from the source of them as possible. Until I found who had taken my wife, her mother, I was paralyzed into staying. Did that make me a bad father? Probably. Was everything I did focused on my own agenda? Maybe. I was going to find the man who had murdered my wife, who had inflicted such insufferable pain and anguish, and I’d make him pay. That was a promise I’d made to my wife as we laid her body to rest, no more than a few months prior, and a promise I intended to keep. The local police were about useless. They’d already decided it was a failed burglary, an opportunist who had been disturbed by my wife returning home early. Someone who was passing through, because there couldn’t be anyone who resided in our Hicksville town so deranged as to want to murder the local schoolteacher. I believed they just wanted the case closed, they didn’t want to have the thought there was a killer on the loose. However, nothing had been taken. There had been plenty of mess left. Drawers and cupboards had been upended, as if someone was looking for something, but jewelry and electronics were all left behind. I’d argued over and over that it wasn’t a burglary; any fool could see that. I’d wanted the FBI called in, someone with an ounce of sense to investigate; my pleas fell on deaf ears. So it was up to me to solve the crime. It was up to me to rid the world of the scum that had made a child motherless, a husband a widower, a classroom of five-year-olds, teacherless.
