From the author of Only a Priest comes another novel revealing the difficulties of the modern priesthood. Father Ryan, a controversial priest, is dead and there is reason to suspect foul play. In the best traditions of the murder mystery genre, The Death of Father Ryan has all the twists and turns of a page turning whodunnit.
There is the usual gallery of engaging characters we have come to expect from this author. Be it the hasty Police investigator, the diligent private detective, the former IRA operative on the run or the recruiter for the child-sex tourism industry in Thailand, they all offer insights into worlds beyond most readers’ experience. There are also familiar characters from the ranks of the ordinary New Zealander, there on the fringes only too happy to offer their thoughts on what lies behind the death of Father Ryan.
Set in the Far North of New Zealand, the author shows his knowledge and understanding of a unique setting in which Maori and Dalmatians have long lived in harmony with one another. The Death of Father Ryan is a book that should keep the reader guessing until the end.
