Sex has always been intended to be a holy, sacred act. How has it gone so terribly wrong? Diocesan priest Jonah Lee Bereo has transferred to an idyllic North Carolina town to be closer to his ailing father and, eventually, to oversee a local Catholic parish. He believes he has a fair grasp of the noxious depths sexual sin has plunged. He soon finds his current awareness on the topic isn't close to the present sordid reality. Fallen-away Catholic Sheriff Daniel Luder and Sex Crimes Detective Renae Gambke have witnessed the degradation first hand. Their respective pasts have firmly altered their present frame of minds, yet a collective interest in a death row inmate forces the trio together. Murder, rape, sodomy, abuse, and a 21st century "free thinking" society is a primary concern they share. Making the world a better place -- fueled by God's grace and Church approved Marian apparitions -- will become their crystallizing ambition in this first fast-paced and thrilling trilogy installment.
