Divine Suffering: A Gripping Diabolical Thriller

By Jon Towlson

A novel of faith, guilt, and the evil that wears a human face.

In the shadow of a decaying inner-city estate, a woman is found murdered-her body defiled with a crucifix. The community turns to its young priest, Father Dean Sterry, for guidance. But Sterry is drowning in his own sins: a secret affair, a lost child, and a silence that may cost more lives.

Then he arrives.

A nameless drifter, his body etched with cryptic religious tattoos, bearing no past, only judgment. A man who speaks in scripture and silence. Who watches children too closely. Who claims no identity-yet knows every buried shame in the parish.

Lena, a troubled woman on the fringe, believes he is an avenging angel sent by God to punish sinners. Sterry suspects he is the killer. But the truth is older, darker, and more sacred than either of them can fathom.

As the community spirals into suspicion, vigilante justice, and spiritual ruin, Sterry must confront a terrible question:

What if evil doesn't come to destroy the Church...
but to complete it?
