The Priests of Cranmore

This is a dark, but exciting, story of the goings-on in a modern Irish rural parish. At its center is the tale of a pedophile priest who has been transferred by his bishop when his crimes catch up with him. It is also the story of one of that priest's victims who, thwarted in her quest for justice from the bishop, appeals to the state, and eventually finds it. The iniquities of the priest reverberate through the parish of Cranmore and his successor parish priest, the diocese of Kingsford, and the whole of Ireland.
