Publisher Description
Two abandoned souls are on the hunt for one powerful man. Soon, their paths will cross and lead to one twisted fate.
Danny Hansen is a Bosnian immigrant who came to America with hopes of escaping haunted memories of a tragic war that took his other's life. Now he's a priest incensed by the powerful among us who manipulate the law for their own gain, uncaring of thes hattered lives they leave behind. It is his duty to show them the error of their ways, even if he must put them in the grave.
Renee Gilmore is the frail and helpless victim of one such powerful man. Having escaped his clutches, she now lives only to satisfy justice by destroying him, regardless of whom she must become in that pursuit.
But when Danny and Renee's paths become inexorably entangled things go very, very badly and neither of them may make it out of this hunt alive.

"Great book! At first I was a little skeptical about the constant switching between first person and third person writing but I quickly got use to it. It was easier to keep track of the two sides of the story being told. By the end of the book I found myself rooting for the bad guy which normally doesn't happen, but it was for a good reason. Loved the Danny and Renee pairing, they were made for each other!"

Quotes

“It’s smart enough to realize that, for many, the scariest thing in life isn't a monster or something that bumps in the night. It's love. Love is terrifying. And powerful. And unstoppable. And if you don't already know that, you're about to see why. The Priest’s Graveyard will haunt you—long after you want it to.”
— Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times bestselling author -

— Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author -
“Perfect entertainment. Beguiling, compelling, challenging, and riveting…fantastic gimmick-free storytelling. Don't pass this one up.”

“An amazing novel, utterly compelling, the story of an abandoned girl and a strange, vengeful priest whose paths eventually cross—with terrifying consequences. Intensely readable, well written, and completely original.”
— Douglas Preston, New York Times bestselling author -
“Skilfully written, surprising, and impossible to put down…his best novel to date. This is an extremely well-thought-out novel, precisely plotted, and, like a good magic trick, deceptive and startling. A daring and completely riveting thriller.”

" Would have been a five-star rating but the weak ending put me off a little bit. "
— Kara, 1/23/2014 -
" Dekker does it again...didn't see the twist till late in the story! Not as good as my favorite, "Three," but an enjoyable read nonetheless. "
— Linda, 1/6/2014 -
" A decent read but not one of his better books that I have read. I enjoyed the twists and characters; but felt the story a little contrived. "
— Jonathon, 9/7/2013 -
" Thankfully this was much better than "Immanuel's Viens"or I would think twice about buying his next book. "
— Teresa, 8/30/2013 -
" This was an exciting story I had trouble putting down. Interesting premise...are all killers evil? I found it engaging enough to waver between 4 and 5. "
— Eomicheli, 6/24/2013 -
" Man has been tempted to judge the guilty since before history. This is the story or two people learning to love rather than judge "
— Josh, 5/14/2013 -
" I thought the start of the book was very good and then it all sort of tailed off and lost it's steam. It was an interesting twist that i sort of saw coming but the story as a whole just didn't grab me. "
— Eric, 3/15/2013 -
" I listened to this one. Two narrators...very good. A bit confused at then end. "
— mmk4, 11/16/2012 -
" Not Really one of his best book but it was not bad either. "
— Shannon, 8/8/2012 -
" I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first Ted Dekker book I read, "The Bride Collector." I was surprised by the twist at the end, but I couldn't relate to the main characters. I didn't find them particularly believable. Overall, I was not impressed. "
— Kateri, 7/19/2012 -
" This story is all about morals. The Priest Danny struggles with what he thinks that he has to do, and whether it is right or wrong. Can't wait for book 2 The Sanctuary. "
— Amanda, 9/30/2011 -
" This was not even acceptable fare from Dekker. I have read a lot of his books, but he must have been pushed to finish something or needed a paycheck to have even put his name on this. Just my opinion!!!! "
— Lynette, 5/21/2011 -
" Classic Dekker - great read!! "
— Ray, 5/20/2011 -
" I listened to a great deal of this book on CD. I kept waiting for it to get better and it didn't. This book didn't interest me enough to finish listening to it. I didn't care how it ended. Maybe it "reads" better. "
— Dawna, 5/19/2011 -
" Omg this book was AMAZING! It had everything you could possibly want in a book: mystery, romance, thrill, hope, redemption. Definitely one of my favorites now! "
— Cassandra, 5/17/2011 -
" Very quick red - loved the "vigilante" feeling in this book! Great for a guy or a gal - My first Dekker book - for sure not my last! Thanks for the recomendation Mischelle! "
— Barb, 5/16/2011 -
" Renee and Danny act as judges and avengers. She avenging the death of her "husband", he seeking justice for the death of his mother and sister in Bosnia. They find each other. Ick! "
— Linnet, 5/16/2011 -
" This was the first book I've read, by this author. I loved it!! Amazing twists and turns!! I'm definitely going to check out his others!! "
— Erin, 5/15/2011 -
" Awesome fast paced read, however, I did find one storyline inconsistency, I went back and re-read the part to make sure and the story part had indeed changed, lol, hence the 4 stars, all in all though it was a fabulous read. "
— Dragonflydreamer68, 5/12/2011 -
" Awesome read - real page-turner! Now my granddaughter is reading, and she doesn't like to read, OMG! "
— Rosemary, 5/11/2011 -
" I don't understand these ratings. Did I read the same book!? It began with some promise but ended up being cliché, unimaginative, preposterous and above all, cheesy! "
— Jenny, 5/6/2011
