The Sieve - Paperback

by Jeremiah Prenn (Author)

After a vow of silence about another's crimes puts Catholic priest Jean-Michel Descoulis on the dark path to perdition, he walks, weighted by guilt, to his doom. When one of Jean's parishioners tells of an artifact in the Sonora desert, the priest begins to believe the artifact may spell salvation for himself and six other desperate men. How far will desperation push them?

Each of the six men, among them a forlorn Japanese expat, a fugitive former actor, a disbarred lawyer, and a hitman for a drug cartel, have an emptiness, a need. They too, fall under the artifact's spell, they too, begin to believe... The desert beckons. Will the men get what they want, or will it come at a cost?
