Description

Benjamin Justice, discredited as a journalist for inventing the subjects of his Pulitzer Prize-winning story, is drawn back into the investigating business over ten years later when his closest friend's fiance, a columnist who has been asking questions for Justice about a priest from his past, is killed in a too-convenient hit-and-run accident.

One of the darkest books yet, with Benjamin Justice chasing down and confronting ghosts of his past when he begins research for his autobiography. Not only does he uncover memories from his own childhood, but discovers that he's not the only one to suffer at the hands of his priest and that the man committed even worse atrocities comes as a shock...

Still, I got sucked into the story fast and furious and the more I read these books, the more I like them. Well written, edgy, intelligent. Ben Justice has to be one of the most flawed characters I've ever come across, but that's what makes him interesting.
