Patrick has little time for religion and would far rather write up the rock god living in the next street but he's sent to interview a surprisingly attractive woman priest - 'If I heard her singing in the bath, it's not my ear I'd put to the keyhole,' he writes. He's so intrigued by the priest's beauty and scandalous past that he falls obsessively in love with her. Dragged through fear, hypocrisy and despair to the darker side of love and religious faith, Patrick is writing to his girlfriend to explain why he is in prison on remand for the priest's rape and murder. 'A gripping, plausible and beautifully written literary thriller' - Laura Wilson, Guardian'Very wicked and beautifully written' - Maureen Freely'A smart and eminently readable literary thriller' - Patrick Neate'This atheist loved it' - Martin Rowson
