First sentence: An overhead fan swished through the afternoon heat above Padre Francis Cadione's head, squeaking once every rotation, but otherwise not a sound disturbed the silence in the small, dimly lit room.
Description: He lost everything he ever wanted and risked his soul to get what he deserved. A brilliant young software designer on the brink of becoming a millionaire; Two sleek, well-fed bank executives who know an opportunity when they see it; A Nike-clad grandmother who literally puts feet to her prayers; A beautiful young widow who uncovers a dangerous secret. On one level it's a psychological thriller -- a fascinating account of the (almost) perfect crime. On another level it's a romance -- the tale of bittersweet love that is (almost) enough to save a soul. But most of all it's an imaginative window into a world more real and vital than most people ever discover here on earth, the unseen world where the real dramas of the universe -- and of our daily lives -- continually unfold. - Author website.
