Summary

Father Franklin Santini was tired of rising crime rates, and a downward spiral of humanity. He was frustrated by people who felt the confessional could be used as a get out of Hell free card, thereby perverting scripture to justify their sinful actions.

He decided to take matters into his own hands. He decided to get a little dirty to make sure things were clean. Some people were just beyond absolution on the Earthly plane of existence and needed to meet Saint Peter at the pearly gates and see if they should be forgiven or forever cast into hell.

He chose his targets carefully, and applied the Scriptures involving enforcing the Laws of God, including the tenets of "and Eye for and Eye" into action.

He found that using the rules of his mafia family, with his own biological father being involved in organized crime, he realized that sometimes you have to do what is wrong, to do what is right. With the Laws of God being above those of man he isn't a murderer. God doesn't see him that way. But will the FBI?

Can the Church keep his activities covered up? Can his family help him stay out of trouble? Will his mission continue?

Father Santini finds ways to eliminate some of those sinners from the face of the Earth using Old Testament methods, and lessons learned during the Inquisition to cause enormous amounts of pain as he cleanses the Earth of rotten souls.

Diocese Dilemma.

Father Santini, The son of a Mafia Boss, A Nun who works in the E.R as a registered nurse. Men who believe that they are above the law as that very same law turns a blind eye to their misdemeaners.
This story had me hooked from the first few minutes with it's well developed characters and excellent plot. It is a bit gruesome in parts and may not be for the feint hearted. As a not very religious person I was a bit apprehensive as sometimes it seemed to be getting a bit deep but not at all, it helped the understanding of what was happening in the story overall. Nathaniel Gray's narration is excellent bringing each character and the whole story to life. A highly recommended listen. Well worth it's 5 Stars. *****
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review.

Dilemma

Love the narration of Nathaniel Gray, who brings out the suspense, action and characters.

Father Santini, is feed up with the rising crime rates, and people who use the confessional as a way of getting out of Hell. So he combines the rules for his mafia family and the old scriptures; as a why of righting the wrongs. With God, on his side its not murder. The problem is the FBI see it differently.
