Publishers Weekly / BookLife "A psychological tale buoyed by slow-burn suspense and moral debate that pits a dying man against his father's killer.""A psychological tale buoyed by slow-burn suspense and moral debate that pits a dying man against his father's killer." A dying man has two months left to live. Just enough time to demand a confession. When Chuck Grayson was twelve, his father died in police custody. Authorities called it a drunken fall. Chuck never believed it. Now sixty-five and dying of liver cancer, he finally learns the truth. The man responsible for his father's death is alive. And he's a Catholic priest. Once a cop hardened by the streets, Father Luke Scott has spent decades building a life of faith and service. But some sins refuse to stay buried. Week after week, Chuck confronts him in the confessional, the one place where secrets are protected and forgiveness is expected. What begins as a search for answers becomes a battle over guilt, redemption, revenge, and justice. As Chuck's time runs out, both men are forced to confront a question neither can escape: Is confession enough to atone for a lifetime of silence?
