The year is 1953. As the Cold War divides the world, two childhood
friends - now foes - carve out an existence. Karl, haunted by the
past, teaches history in his home town of Hallstatt, while Max,
driven by power and wealth, leads the Fratres, an extreme branch of
the Catholic Church -with control of the Vatican his ultimate goal.
When Karl is called to Rome to expose the corruption that has
infiltrated the Church, the two men are destined to meet again. The
past must be put to rest. But at what cost? From Moscow to CIA
Headquarters to a Budapest prison, Sons of Cain is an epic tale of
lust, power and corruption where deception is a way of life.
What do you say after you've said 'Sorry for your trouble'? This is
not just a book for the bereaved but for everyone who is unsure how
to act and what to say when faced with friends, family, loved ones,
colleagues and acquaintances who have been bereaved. Life After
Loss was written for what the author calls the 'second circle' who
are dealing with the bereavement of others. They include family,
friends, colleagues, employers, carers, nurses, doctors, priests,
pastors, social workers and counsellors. Drawing on twenty years of
lecturing, training and broadcasting on the subject of bereavement,
Christy Kenneally has put together a book filled with human
interest, anecdote and even humour.

In a small town high in the Austrian mountains, Karl and Max are
friends on the edge of adulthood. Karl dreams of being a teacher
and calling Hallstatt home for the rest of his life. Max, desperate
to escape the poisonous influence of his mother, is increasingly
tormented with jealousy over his friend's bond with the brilliant
and passionate Elsa. Then, a tragedy in the local salt-mines
changes their lives forever. As they leave their childhoods behind,
Karl and Max walk very different paths. One trying to survive the
horrors of war on the Russian front; the other in an unrelenting
quest for power within the Catholic Church. When they meet again
many years later, they must face the memories that have haunted
them since that fateful day in the mines. And confront the darkness
that divided them. The Betrayed is an epic story of friendship,
love, loss and the power of destiny.
Fr Michael Flaherty returned to the Island to hide from the world,
knowing that those he loves are in danger just because he is alive.
But try as he might, he can't escape his past - and, soon, a phone
call in the night makes him realise that he has to face his enemy
one final time to rid himself of the evil that threatens everything
- and everyone - he holds dear. He finds himself in the middle of
Jerusalem and in the middle of a fight for the greatest resource
the city has - water. As the leaders of the Christians, the Muslims
and the Jews argue over which of them owns the vast underground
lake beneath the city, those at ground level are involved in a much
more simple argument - who should live and who should die? As
Michael struggles with his own salvation will he know who to trust
and who to destroy?
The year is 1953. As the Cold War divides the world into East and
West, childhood friends and old foes - Karl Hamner and Fr Max
Steiger - live their lives. Karl, haunted by the past and a
devastating truth he discovered about his old friend, teaches
history in his home town of Hallstatt. While Max, intent on power
and wealth, builds the Fratres, an extreme branch of the Catholic
Church, with control of the Vatican his ultimate goal. When news of
the Fratres reaches the CIA, an alliance between the two is formed,
raising the stakes. But when Karl is called to Rome to expose the
corruption that has infiltrated the Church, he has to face the past
- and Max. From Moscow to CIA Headquarters to a Budapest prison,
Sons of Cain is an epic tale of lust, power and corruption where
deception is a way of life.
