Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Marshalling the vast powers of narrative and historical re-creation that he brought to his international bestseller Schindler’s List, Thomas Keneally has created a moving and provocative novel about a headstrong young Catholic priest in World War II Australia. As Sydney braces itself for a Japanese invasion, Father Frank Darragh finds his pastoral duties becoming increasingly challenging. How should he counsel an AWOL black American soldier who may face death for his involvement with a white woman? And what should he say to another woman—the distressingly beguiling Kate Heggarty—who impresses him with her virtue even as she edges toward sin? When Kate is found murdered, Darragh falls under suspicion. And even if the police clear him, his superiors—and his own conscience—may not. Office of Innocence is a book that’s impossible to put down, dense with moral complexity and alive with period detail.

New York Times bestseller: Miami attorneys Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana are back in action in this “complex, involving tale” (Booklist). Now running her own private law practice, Gail has taken on the Miami Opera as her first client. The company’s newest young star—who is set to take the lead in Mozart’s Don Giovanni—recently performed in Castro’s Cuba. And while the Opera’s board of directors couldn’t care less, Miami’s Cuban community could make a great deal of trouble for all involved. To Gail, it seems more like a case for a PR specialist than a lawyer. But she soon discovers that the Opera’s problems may threaten to expose a secret hidden in the history of Cuban emigration to Miami. It’s a secret someone is killing to keep, and a deadly conspiracy that leads Gail to the most unlikely of suspects: her fiancé Anthony Quintana. Edgar Award finalist and former Florida state prosecutor Barbara Parker once again serves up “a rich mix of tropical politics, edgy romance and secrets from the past” in the third legal thriller in the bestselling series (Publishers Weekly).
