Former Catholic priest Michael Jones and the irreverent Father O'Malley return in this sequel to Out of the Depths (New Generation Publishing 2012) to tackle another baffling clerical mystery set in Liverpool. Battling loneliness and alcohol addiction, Michael meets Martha, a refugee from the Troubles in Northern Ireland. She tells Michael of the unexplained disappearance of her son, a former altar boy at his church, fourteen years ago. Suspecting the involvement of a visiting priest who has also vanished without trace, Michael and Father O'Malley decide to investigate. The trail leads them to a deserted village, a deconsecrated church and a walled-in estate haunted by the ghosts of a terrible past. Searching for the place where the Eye of God is blind, they soon find themselves in mortal danger.

Liverpool Catholic parish priest, Michael Jones receives an anonymous letter, denouncing an unnamed priest for abuse and betrayal of the secrets of the confessional. Who is the evil-doer? His fellow parish priest, the irreverent Father O'Malley? Or one of his predecessors, Father Ambrose, whose body is wasted by illness but whose eyes glow with the intensity of his faith, or Father Coffey, the quiet scholar buried in the his studies of Church history? As he struggles to solve a mystery protected by the obsessively secretive Church hierarchy, Michael ventures into an inner world he never knew existed; he finds victims of dispossession, cruelty, and repression. To his horror he realises the answer may lie in a terrible secret at the heart of his own family history. 'Out of the Depths' is a study of the evil which can be hidden behind an aura of holiness, a baffling crime puzzle in which the priest detectives struggle against seemingly impossible odds, and a heart-breaking story of thwarted love.
