A compelling crime drama and poignant love story about a devoted man who must confront the painful legacy of his war torn childhood when he is wrongfully accused of murder. Michael Kieh's struggle to prove his innocence leads him on a charged journey that pitches the pursuit of justice and the search for love against the instinct for revenge.
Michael is the chief suspect in a murder at one of the world’s busiest airports where he is a full-time faith representative. A series of brief encounters with a soul mate has eased his loneliness and together they come close to uncovering a past major crime, but ultimately he chooses to protect a young witness who could prove his innocence. When he was a child, Michael witnessed appalling abuses of power, including the killing of a missionary priest who refused to betray young Michael. But there was a first love that he left behind in the brutal confusion of war. When she and Michael cross paths once more, they battle to prove his innocence in a foreign, hostile country. Can they solve the mystery before it it too late?

MY REVIEW
Father Michael
Kieh grew up around violence. As a boy, he witnessed his entire family as they
were murdered by his uncle. He escaped and landed at The Sisters of Christ King
compound where he met Leonie Urey. Even though they fell in love, Michael felt
a higher calling and left to become a priest. Years later while taking
confession from an accused serial killer, Father Michael gets some shocking
news about his past. When knowledge of the confession is made public, Father
Michael becomes a pawn in the political arena. Unable to break the seal of
confession, he must find a way to make the accused give a public confession.
Father Michael
may have sinned along with everyone else, but he was an upstanding man, doing
the best he could considering his circumstances. I know I would have liked him
in real life. I got confused a couple of times, remembering that I was reading
the past and not the present. That’s why I am not a fan of going back and forth
with a story, as this one did. The book ended on a good note so I did get
satisfaction in justice rendered. I would definitely recommend this read.
