THE CONFESSION COULD SAVE LIVES. THE SEAL FORBIDS HIM TO SPEAK.
Before he was Father Daniel Cross, he was a Navy SEAL - the kind of operator sent into rooms other men wouldn't walk out of. He thought he'd left that life in a Yemeni valley, along with the mission that still wakes him at 3 a.m.
Now he hears confessions instead of giving orders. And one night, from behind the screen, a voice he half-recognizes tells him something that should be impossible: a killer is working through a list of names - names tied to the same botched operation Daniel has spent a decade trying to forget.
The Seal of Confession is absolute. Daniel cannot repeat what he hears, cannot warn the victims, cannot go to the police with anything but his silence - even as the bodies start matching the list, one by one, and Detective Trebble's investigation closes in on the one connection she can't explain: him.
Bound by a vow older than the law, and unable to outrun the instincts that made him lethal long before he was ordained, Daniel has to find a way to stop a killer he isn't allowed to name - before the next confession is the last name on the list, and before the truth about that valley destroys everyone he's tried to protect since.
A thriller about faith, guilt, and the price of keeping a secret that could get someone killed.
Fans of Daniel Silva, Tom Clancy, William Kent Krueger or John le Carré will find Seal of Confession right at home.
