 Haunted by the childhood memory of his brother s suicide, Detective Vincent Campo s old wounds are split wide open, when he is forced again to face pedophile ex-priest, Raymond Angelus, while investigating the molestation and murder of 17 year old, Todd Rivier. When Angelus is discovered dead, the DA pins Campo as the prime suspect. Boxed in, Campo enlists his resourceful colleague, tabloid columnist Nelson Bennet and together they strip away the layers of deception clouding both deaths. Guided through a maze of cryptic clues from Gloria Toplitzski, a woman whose outward perfection barely masks her dark secrets, Bennet and Campo unravel the truth, but not without relentless opposition from the omnipotent hand of the Catholic Diocese.
