Deliver Us From Evil
by Philip Luber
A deadly secret.
A horrific memory.
A little knowledge can be lethal.
Concord, Massachusetts is a picture-postcard town: birthplace of the Revolution, home of Emerson and Thoreau. Its privileged citizens guard their heritage, their wealth...and their secrets. Psychiatrist Harry Kline listens to those secrets. But someone thinks Harry has heard too much -- and wants him silenced...for good.
A prominent Concord man has been cut down in a hit-and-run accident. The murder investigation zeros in on one of Harry's patients...and then on Harry's lover. Who is the killer? And was it really an accident...or something more sinister?
Harry's world is turned upside down as his personal and professional lives collide. Who can Harry -- the keeper of others' secrets -- tell his secrets to? To a lawyer, a priest, or a therapist? To his daughter, a friend, or a stranger...or the ghost of his departed wife?
Before he's through, Harry will learn his most important lesson: Evil is easy. And in its battle against goodness and mercy, evil always has a head start....
