A Killer's Grace

For Kevin Pitcairn, the letter from a serial killer awaiting execution comes with implications he can t ignore. The writer s guilt is clear at least in a legal sense. But the questions he raises draw Pitcairn into a compelling journey of investigation whose profound psychological and spiritual implications hurl his live into upheaval. As he tries to determine and tell the killer s true story, Pitcairn plunges deeper into the pit his own demons have created and trapped him in. His journalist s curiosity becomes a compulsion as events bind him tighter and tighter, propelling him from New Mexico s stark high desert into an increasingly hostile wider world. Murder, mystery, and redemption shape Pitcairn s struggle to answer the moral questions left festering by the killer s horrible crimes: What is the nature of evil? What choices do any of us truly have? How can we reconcile with our most painful wounds and the people who have inflicted them?"
