Resumen del Editor

Two abandoned souls are on the hunt for one powerful man. Soon, their paths will cross and lead to one twisted fate.

Danny Hansen is a Bosnian immigrant who came to America with hopes of escaping haunted memories of a tragic war that took his mother's life. Now he's a priest who lives by a law of love and compassion. It is powerful men and hypocrites who abide by legal law but eschew the law of love that most incense Danny. As an avenging angel, he believes it is his duty to show them the error of their ways, at any cost.

Renee Gilmore is the frail and helpless victim of one such powerful man. Having escaped his clutches, she now lives only to satisfy justice by destroying him, regardless of whom she must become in that pursuit.

But when Danny and Renee's paths become inexorably entangled things go very, very badly and neither of them may make it out of this hunt alive.

Judge not, or you too will be judged.

Back and forth on this one

I don't usually write a full on review. I'm more of a stars girl, but THIS book took me by surprise. Having listened and read several books by Ted Dekker, I kind of had in my mind what to expect. This is NOT that! Which at first I found a bit off putting. More violent than I was expecting, but I pushed on. Lots of twists and turns. LOTS. I was very glad that I continued to read. By the last couple of chapters, I was riveted. Well done, Ted! I love your usual spiritually based stories, too, but this was very good. And at the end, spiritual as well.

Excellent story and well acted

Loved the book, Ted Dekker has become one of my top 3 authors. This book has plot twists, intrigue, bad guys good guys and grey guys.

Gripping to the end

Excellent story line and character development! Loved it!!! Cannot wait to listen to the sequel . The narrators were great!!!

Interesting To Read The Negative Reviews

I'll admit it. I'm a Ted Dekker fan. However, I haven't particularly enjoyed his last two books. I enjoyed The Priest's Graveyard a great deal. It was highly accessible and (in my view) well-told. In my view, Ted writes best when writing in the slightest fantastical or somewhat improbable (so I'm not as let down as previous reviewers seem to have been), as he has done here. I found both the lead characters very appealing (which of us doesn't lurch back-and-forth between self-confidence and second-guessing ourselves) and I thought both the narrators did an excellent job (although the accents reminded me more of Spanish than of Bosnian...a minor point). I think many who feel outraged at injustice and victimization...as well as struggling with the need for forgiveness and second chances...will find something to relate to here.

Exciting!

Captivating from the very first few minutes. Though I wonder if Ted Dekker is a Dexter fan?

Good twists at the end

The main character made bad choices that I found irritating. The ending had some good surprises though. I thought The 49th Mystic was much better but it is a different genre.

It was okay.

It did keep my interest but many parts about Rene were very unrealistic. I didnt care for the voices... the one sounded Spanish instead of Bosnian and the female sounded too young... though both read very well. Good twist at the end.

Dumbest chic ever!!!

I questioned if people could be as stupid as the female character in this book. Was it realistic? Then I thought about our last 4 years in this country and the answer is yes. I couldn’t take her level of stupidity. I even had to stop listening for a while because she was just too much. Both main characters were mentally ill, in my opinion. But it was a good book.

judge not lest we be judged

loved it finished in just a few days. the characters were amazing. The Narrator did a fantastic job.

Awesome!

I dont write many 5 star reviews but I was on the edge of my seat through most of this book. I am listening to the Sanctuary now since it is the follow up to Graveyard. It seems just as edge of your seat listening. :)
