Crime and Redemption

About the Book

Crime and Redemption is a contemporary novel that takes place in Philadelphia at the beginning of the new century and the new millennium. It is an easy-to-read, masterful psychodrama. It is so compelling the reader will find that he and she will be drawn into it as if they were watching the reality unfold before their eyes. While the initial stages of the novel could seem overloaded with a script of man’s darker side, it is just the beginning. It is a small part of a path across a bridge. The bridge leads the reader into the arena of a vigorous hope and a meaningful purpose. It also contains a strong affirmation of life, an incredible redemption, and a peaceful self-reconciliation. The story, while fully contemporary, could cause some readers to experience a slight reminiscence of one of the most celebrated novels of an earlier time.
