Publisher's Synopsis
Twenty-one years after a bloody double homicide in 1959, Jerry Flynn, new pastor to the inner-city church of Crossriver, Pennsylvania, hears his dying predecessor confess information that could have saved the woman convicted for the crimes.
In the light of such startling evidence, Jerry ponders the likelihood that the murderer remains at large, but is conflicted over what to do with his information. Whether to betray a confidence become more complicated when Jerry's old flame, FBI agent Charlene Cunningham, comes to Crossriver to investigate a history of unsolved cases of missing women. For while Jerry and Charlene rekindle their passion and love for each other, they clash over vocational differences, which manifest themselves in the minister's right to silence and pardon all, and the law's right to know everything and provide punishing justice.
The second in a series of novels featuring Reverend Jerry Flynn, Blood and Pardon reveals the secrets of those touched by the long ago murders and probes the time-honored Christian dictum of the forgiveness of sins.
