The nexus of the story is the conflict between Norm Carpenter, the brains of the private investigation shop, who has become a born again Christian, and his partner, Al Hasp, a backslider who hasn't seen the insides of a church since being a kid in Sunday School. Norm wants out of the business, while Al works desperately to keep him in. Al hopes taking on the televangelist's case will expose enough religious hypocrisy to disillusion his partner. Breen's handling of the born-again Christian aspect rings mostly true, and his depiction of the televangelist's staff seems even-handed. Their motivations, for good or evil, appear logical. Throw in a couple of murders and some questionable antics at a Southern California Christian college, and you have a lively tale with enough twists to keep you guessing. Breen ends the book with a question that has troubled a lot of devout Christians. Get this one if you like a good mystery with some overtones of controversy.
