Read a sample Read a sample
The sleuthing monk travels to Poland to investigate a decades-old betrayal in this "dense, complex [and] fascinating" mystery (Publishers Weekly).
Anselm Duffy was a brilliant criminal lawyer before he became a monk who probes the intersection of murderous deeds and moral questions. In The Day of the Lie, Father Anselm receives a visit from an old friend who needs his help with a deadly mystery—one that reaches back to Warsaw during the icy grip of the Cold War.
As a young woman, Roza Mojeska was part of an underground resistance group in Communist Poland. Betrayed by someone close to her—someone still unknown—she was sent to a government prison and forced to make a terrible choice that haunts her to this day. Now, Father Anselm peels back decades of secrets and lies to expose a truth that both victim and torturer would keep hidden. A perceptive examination of guilt and redemption, The Day of the Lie is a gripping, intricate mystery.
"Reminiscent of the early works of John le Carré . . . blending sharp suspense and literary resonance." —Jeffrey Deaver
