About This Item
Even for 1927 New Orleans, a city that has seen the utmost in sanctity and sin, the story is shocking. Beloved priest Patrick Walsh has been murdered. The scene of the crime: an abandoned warehouse. The method of killing: torture. Even more shattering are the secrets he had hoped to take to his grave.
Daman Rourke, the homicide cop who fights hard and hurts easy, wants a righteous justice for this one. But he has to walk a fine line of danger in a town already seething over the pending execution of a black man and the disappearance of teenage girls devoted to Remy Lelourie, silent-film queen and Rourke's lover. Seeking the blood-red thread that connects these events, Rourke rediscovers an unforgettable truth: some things stay mysteries, especially when they live in the human heart.
Synopsis
Penn Williamson's previous hardcover, Mortal Sins (Mysterious Press, 6/00), grossed nearly 50,000 copies. The paperback edition will be released simultaneously with, and contain a teaser chapter from, The Crucible Of Death. The author's novels are extremely popular in Europe, especially France and Germany, where they are best-sellers. The Crucible Of Death continues Williamson's successful departure from her earlier women's fiction titles, written under the name Penelope Williamson. Here, in this stand-alone novel, she picks up where Mortal Sins left off in a riveting story of murder, desire, and intrigue that will further establish her as a mainstream author in the same vein as Sandra Brown.
