About this item

The latest in the ingenious, gripping Father Anselm series by Gold Dagger award-winner William Brodrick. Featuring the brilliant criminal lawyer-turned-monk/ detective whose specialty is the intersection of murderous deeds and moral questions and "reminiscent of the early works of John le Carr . . . blending sharp suspense and literary resonance," William Brodrick's Father Anselm novels are "classics in the making" (Jeffrey Deaver) . In The Day of the Lie, Father Anselm receives a visit from an old friend with a dangerous story to tell -- the story of a revolutionary in Eastern Europe 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 the dark of a government prison and forced to make a terrible choice that would haunt her to this day.
