Peter Kilbride

It wasn't the inescapable routine of his life as priest in rural Scotland that disturbed Jim Irvine but his nagging doubt of there being no value in much of what he did. He still cared for the people entrusted to his charge but had begun to question whether his religion offered them any real help.

Whether through compassion for a stranger who turned to his church for help or through a desire to break his own routine, Jim is drawn into danger as the two men are pursued by the law and the lawless.
