Sins of the Father - (The Father Barrett Files) by Jamie Mason (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

FATHER BARRETT IS BACK FOR BOOK TWO IN THIS SINISTER MYSTERY SERIES.

Ex-Vatican investigator Father Michael Barrett is still adjusting to life as parish priest in the backwater town of Fulton, British Columbia when he is called to the deathbed of Arnold McLellan-Fulton's wealthiest man.

Death is complicated at the best of times. But McLellan's heirs are at odds, and his main asset, the Spirit Ranch Estates development, is tied up in litigation with the local tribe. As a mysterious break-in at Barrett's parsonage coincides with the unexplained disappearance of First Nations youths, a series of clues tie the missing kids to the disputed estates. Too soon, Barrett finds himself torn between the roles of investigator and mediator in a brewing conflict between the tribe and the local townspeople.

Can Barrett race against the clock to find the missing kids while working to prevent the town from descending into total war?

Review Quotes

"I've long admired Jamie Mason's thriller work, but Biker Funeral is a huge cut above. Can you imagine a Jesuit priest who was once a police officer? Who's placed in a struggling church in the middle of a remote village in British Columbia? And who's involved with feuds, murders, and crimes among biker gangs, the Catholic church, and the local First Peoples? Jamie Mason has and does it with skill, unforgettable characters, and superb writing. If there's something known as Rural Canadian Noir, Jamie Mason is now its king. Highly recommended."

"Who's more badass than a big, burly biker gang brandishing pistols, Uzis, and bloody murder in their hearts? Father Michael Barrett, a disgraced priest with a drinking problem, a foul mouth, and a hot temper, that's who. Jamie Mason has created a haunted, complex, two-fisted protagonist in Father Barrett. A reluctant hero with darkness in his soul, but one who refuses to give up on the light. He talks too much, drinks too much, and fights too much... But he also never backs down."

-Mark Allen, author of The Assassins series
