(1) YA Jim Hawkins's father vanished two years ago. The loss is still unresolved, but Ruth Rose, the pastor's stepdaughter, has begun to make accusations about Father Fisher. This suspenseful story is set among the complex inhabitants of a farming community, where a pastor controls his flock with great cunning and a staunch but twisted view of his own faith. A gripping, fast-moving plot offers the pure adrenaline rush of a thriller.
