Ted Dekker

Dear Readers,
The Priest's Graveyard by Ted Dekker is a book that easily kept my attention.  It was still as intense as most of his other books, but not a gruesome as some of them have been.  If you are worried don't be, it still has a seriel killer in it, but one with a different agenda. 
Danny was just a young man when his mother and sisters were killed in Bosnia during the time the ethnic cleansings were going on.  He joined the under ground and learn many ways to kill a person without leaving any evidence behind.
Renee is a prisoner in the prison of drugs and prostitution.  She is rescued by Lamont and broken of her drug problem.  When Lamont disappears Renee and Danny are suddenly working for the same side.  Their own revenge against the evil in the world.
Danny has sworn to rid the world of all he has deemed worthy of death.  They are low-lifes that have treated their fellow mankind with contempt and evil.  He has set himself up as Judge against these people and carries out his mission with precision and in such a way that no one can figure out what happened to the person.
Renee has sworn to find her husband's killer and bring him to justice.  She has no training and is even a bit naive about the world.  She is just planning on tracking down the persons responsible and she doesn't care whether she lives or dies.
I am not going to go into any more details as I want to you read and enjoy this book on your own.  I think every reader comes away from a book with their own little lessons.  I know what I was getting out of this book besides a good suspense story, but it might not be the same for you.  I refuse to judge that.
Happy Reading
