\nBlake Yourrick has fled his family and Milwaukee, rotating from job
\nto dead-end job\u2014working the Bakken oilfields in Dakota and even
\nsigning on as the night caretaker of a rural abbey graveyard. Deep
\nin student debt and estranged from his misanthropic, alcoholic
\nfather, Blake is haunted by the memory of his mother\u2019s death\u2014and by
\nhis relationship with his college mentor, a defrocked priest named
\nTheo Hape, who is known for his adventurous theological ideas as
\nwell as for the uncanny,<\/strong> seductive power he wields
\nover his students. When Hape, learning of his former charge\u2019s
\ndesperate straits, proposes a perverse exchange of services, Blake
\nfinds himself tempted to test the professor\u2019s radical theories in
\nreal life. What follows is a metaphysical duel reminiscent of the
\nnovels of Dostoevsky and Bernanos, pitting a modern-day anti-Christ
\nagainst a reckless but resilient young man and his well-meaning,
\ndysfunctional kin.” (Publisher’s description)<\/p>\n
