Fuelled by the anger of having been a victim of clerical abuse himself, Leo Cavanagh has written a crime novel which gathers pace as the unlikely chance to expose a cover-up depends on the dodgy activities of two young investigators claiming to stand for justice. But while atheist Mike doesnt pretend to respect the Church as much as the law, the beautiful Alexis pays lip-service to both. Then, who is grooming who, Mike wonders, because convent girls dont do that sort of thing, do they? But Rome provides a wonderful background for romance.Racing to get in the evidence for a popular Sunday newspapers scoop about the leader of Pietas, timed for the Popes visit to Britain, the sparky couple visit Rome and the provincial town where a case of abuse was first reported to its Roman Catholic bishop. They hope to gather not just the testimony of the less than edifying whistle-blower, Father Anthony Mulherin, but some usable evidence as well. This is something that happened 30 years ago, after all.Irreverent but affectionate about religious things, Sacred sacred scared reveals the emotional truth behind the tragedy of clerical abuse at the same time skewering pious Catholic hypocrisy, priest-worship and blindness about sex. Every policeman will tell you that getting the evidence together against the real villains needs real toughness of mind: but that doesnt justify bent policemen, does it?
